Abstract

From the world economical processes: globalization and neoliberal thought, the education scenery suffers several influences regarding those decisive ones. Before the education public politics, the democratic administration of the public teaching becomes decisive in the school organization. The school reform of democracy began to be demanded in Brazil, mainly for the social movements at that time of the military dictatorship, becoming one of the education beginnings of the current Brazilian Constitution. It establishes in the civil society the control of the education on the public schools, bringing with itself the leaders' election and the formation of the school councils, guaranteeing mainly freedom of expression to the school community. The research “The School Community's Participation in the Process of Elaboration of the Municipal Plan of Education of Santa Maria", investigate the school community's participation when the Municipal Plan of Education of the Municipal district is built. The work is aided by a theoretical-methodological referential of qualitative character, being a case study with an ethnographical approach. For performing the analysis, we appropriated of the ideas of Boaventura de Sousa Santos in relation to the categories: drop democracy and high intensity. For so much, we used the concepts of drop participation and high intensity for the transport of the results. They found some impediments and progresses in relation to the school community's participation during the construction of MPE. The participation and the implementation of a democratic process are slow, as ratified in the case study in subject, which evidenced a participation of low intensity.
