The problem of limited research on the organization and management of the educational policy of the municipality, as well as the political institutions of the Board in reference to the exercise of social control; the form of participation of civil society, especially the subaltern classes in the definition, implementation and evaluation of educational policies; and educational policies pursued since 2000 when starting the process of delegation of powers conferred upon the municipality locus of research, by the year 2011, comprising six (06) terms of two (02) years, which makes a total of twelve (12) years of management decentralization of educational policies, the institutionalization of Municipal Education System. For both, it was established as guiding hypothesis: the Municipal Board of Education Castanhal - PA, even with the delegation of powers, continued playing a role that approximates a control-management in the management of educational policies, rather than constitutive dimensions of social control, such as: monitoring, assessments and proposals. Were elected as axes of analysis for understanding the phenomenon investigated dimensions: technical inspection; political-ethical-evaluative and purposeful. This is a qualitative research, which focuses on a case study, whose data were revealed by means of bibliographic and documentary research, interviews with the social subject. The survey results confirmed the hypothesis that the working class could not exercise social control, in the analyzed period, from the dimensions aired this work, because of the bureaucratic state management model, which went on to influence the actions and procedures of the Board sometimes alluded. Indeed, the scale technical inspection ended at the micro level, the management of educational policy, without the effective participation of the working class; political and purposeful, dimension in turn was more related to the need to reduce bureaucracy of accreditation processes and approval of educational institutions; and the ethical-evaluative dimension was not possible because of some problems that were identified, including the methodology used for evaluation of educational policies, thus leaving the favor the more direct involvement of key users of educational services.porAcesso AbertoEducação e EstadoConselho Municipal de EducaçãoControle socialSociedade civilSistemas de ensinoCastanhal - PAPará - EstadoAmazônia brasileiraTeseCNPQ::CIENCIAS HUMANAS::EDUCACAO::PLANEJAMENTO E AVALIACAO EDUCACIONAL::POLITICA EDUCACIONAL
