The present study is associated to the research line "Formative processes, educational practices, differences". It aims to investigate school management and democratic processes in the view of teachers, managers and parents of students, in the search to understand the meaning and the meaning of democracy in the public school of the countryside. As a theoretical-methodological contribution is anchored in historical-cultural theory, represented by Vygotsky and his interlocutors in relation to authors who discuss the education of the countryside and democratic management. Initially, we performed a state of the art in the perspective of situating the already published theme in articles, dissertations and theses. We selected the databases of the Coordination of Personal Improvement of Higher Education (CAPES), Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD), National Association of Postgraduate and Research in Education - Anped in GT3 "Social Movements" and Institutional Repositories of the Universities that have the Degree in Field Education. As a temporal cut, we date from 2004 to 2017 because it considers an important period in the public policy scenario in Brazil in relation to Field Education. In order to produce data and conduct the research, we conducted a semi-structured interview with 6 (six) teachers, 3 (three) managers and 3 (three) parents of students from three campuses located in the surroundings of the city of Campo Grande in Mato Grosso do Sul. The documentary corpus for analysis was composed of the Political-Pedagogical Project of the schools with the objective of finding the concept of school management in the selected schools and the Municipal Education Plan (PME-2015/2025) in order to know the goals proposed for the election of managers and in this sense, the possibility of establishing a democratic management. It is concluded that the state of the art presents results still incipient in research on the subject in relation to school management in the rural school. The results point out that there is still a long way to go in the concept of democracy as well as in the processes related to the proposal of democratic management in the rural school. In the course of this research, in the year 2018, there was the election for directors of the municipal education network of Campo Grande / MS. Wish, who was noticed during the interviews with the participants of the research. However, because it still presents itself as a new process of transience, there are still doubts and it is premature to conceptualize the meanings and meanings about democracy and democratic management in the rural school.
