The article is the result of a master's survey and has as its theme the democratic school management in public schools in the city of Manaus (AM). The objective is to analyze the process of democratic school management of municipal schools in Manaus. We used the field research, of qualitative nature using the semi-structured interview, using a recorder for data collection, in four schools that make up the structural organization of SEMED Manaus. Based on the analysis, the results indicate that there is no clear understanding of how Democratic Management has been materialized in public schools, for the interviewees this category is related to norms, disciplines and rules that should be indispensable in the school organization, leading to the need for a constant dialogue with society in order to reflect on the real meaning of democratic school management.
