The paper analyzes the implications of the partnership between the City Hall of Campo Grande and the Ayrton Senna Institute for the management of the educational system and of schools between 2001 and 2004, within the implementation of the Champion School Program. The Municipal Secretariat of Education embraced such program as its main project for the management of the system and its school units. The study included documents and relevant literature. Although the Champion School Program aims to improve the performance of elementary school through incentives towards school autonomy, better application of resources, and social equity, the change in the management system observed in the school investigated was not enough to alter educational indicators. In general, the main purpose of such programs is to materialize the managerial management, which replaces the democratic management instituted by the current educational legislation.
