The changes provided by Digital Information and Communication Technologies require a constant evolution of society, including education. Additionally, the pandemic caused by the Sars-Cov-2 virus, which causes the Covid-19 disease, promoted a rethinking of the school as an educational institution, since presencial classes were temporarily suspended. In this context, the state of Alagoas adopted the educational policy Special Regime for Non-Present School Activities, as a response to the pandemic. From this scenario, it is questioned how this policy was conceived and implemented, from the perspective of democratic management, a guiding principle of public education. The hypothesis raised points in the direction that the public policy studied was not widely discussed, reflecting the management model of public administration, distancing itself from a democratic school management. To test the hypothesis, It was sought to understand democratic management within the official documents that support the Special Regime for Non-Present School Activities, as well as the perception of teachers and school managers from interviews.
