O conselho escolar e a implementação no município de Cascavel-PR

This paper is aimed to present a summary of the production carried out in Master’s Degree dissertation entitled “Organization and School Management: an analysis of the School Council implemented in the city of Cascavel”. That research has had as its main goal to present an analysis of the School Council’s implementation process in the city of Cascavel, in 2012. The School Council, is part of the National Programme of School Councils Strengthening (PNFCE) which was created in 2004 during the first Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government. This programme proclaims to promote the democratic management through the school community participation, for this, the programme offers education courses for the role performed by counsellor. Understanding that it is a programme guided by public policies and it’s not a movement which emerged from society, this study tries to reflect about the limit and the possibilities of the school community participation in a democratic management through an instrument which is the School Council. Hence, to develop this job, it was made a bibliographical research, a documental analysis and a field research through interviews and questionnaires with public municipal schools’ principals, and with others School Council’s members. In order to understand the research object, it was made some observations in Seminaries, education courses for counsellors and School Councils meetings. Our solicitude is to rescue the research questions and to put forward the limit and the possibilities of a School Council inside of a public school of the research field, recovering essential aspects of the community participation.
