In general , the term democratic management of public schools in Alagoas is only limited to documents that circulate in schools since the organizational culture of the same has ensured that there is decentralization and dialogue , so this concept is embedded in the speech delivered by government authorities , but in practice the state of insecurity felt by schools in the state schools the democratization process is yet to be built . Thus , it was found that the sharing of power, essential to the realization of democratic management in the state still represents something to be conquered .
