The research is based on the Democratic Theory in representative and participatory aspects and empirical knowledge of the councils as an instrument of participation. The approach is qualitative and evaluative with data collection made by documentary research of the minutes of council meetings, semi-structured interviews and focus group meetings. Data analysis identified imbalance in the representation of stakeholders and lack of participation of the full School Council in the management of schools.
