This study aims to analyze the limits and possibilities that the Joint Action Plan - PAR brings to the education management in municipalities in the State of Rio Grande do Sul belonging to AMZOP (Association of Municipalities in the Production Zone). We adopted a qualitative approach (FLICK, 2009; 2012), which characterizes our study as a multiple case study (YIN, 2001; TRIVIÑOS, 1987). We use Google questionnaires for data collection, through which we send an access link to all Education Departments in the municipalities of AMZOP / RS. For analysis purposes, we use data triangulation (GIL, 2008; FLICK, 2009) and content analysis (BARDIN, 2011). We listed the limits and possibilities that PAR brought to education in the municipalities participating in the research. The main result we found was access to financial infrastructure resources for education networks. The main limitation we can highlight was the centralization of resources and decisions at the federal level. The study confirms singular changes in education management in the municipalities belonging to AMZOP / RS, from PAR. There is a need for a critical analysis of the plan and management that is municipalities are developing. It regards democratization based on the principles of autonomy, power decentralization, and effective community participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
