Abstract
This study discusses the impact of managerial and administrative guidelines used as public policy to regulate the management of schools. Data collected from questionnaires and literature review were analyzed. The research reveals that current educational policies, which establish systematic reviews and managerial governance principles as a guideline for the school management, are committed to maintaining the autonomy of educational coordinators. We underscore the formalization of an institutional culture with strong administrative and managerial connotations, especially with regard to the control of teachers’ actions and the realization of learning outcomes.
