Sumario:This article discusses school management based on the potential and difficulties mapped by public school principals in a city in the south of the country. With theoretical input in Meneses et al. (2001), Lück (2009; 2012) and Libâneo et al. (2012) it describes the difficulties evidenced by the principals in charge in the function, so then investigate some ways of overcoming, also considering the work developed by pedagogical coordinators who work in the same schools. The empirical material, produced from a questionnaire and semi-structured interview, shows that school management is faced with many challenges, which are accentuated by the lack of participation and family engagement and the low motivation of the teaching staff. Despite this, some factors promote satisfaction to the management staff, highlighting the recognition of the school community regarding the work done and the results achieved, aspects that motivate the group to move forward in the management work.
