The study called the CME in the city of Ananindeua Construction of Educational Policy: the quest for social participation. Aimed to examine how the participation of organized civil society is being developed within the Municipal Council of Education in an attempt to build an educational policy based on principles of participatory democracy and analyze the performance of CME Body while the education system should seek to promote the construction of municipal education. Document Analysis and Semi- structured interviews were the instruments used to meet the goals specified. The processing of data was possible through content analysis (research literature) and analysis of primary sources (Atas; Laws Decrees; Opinions; Rules of Procedure). The results achieved with the investigation lead us to infer that social participation as an educational principle in the CME in Ananindeua is being built gradually, since the democratization of education management through direct involvement, both on the floor of the school as in the other elements that make up the educational system is a process that needs to be built on daily basis. In the case of society's participation in CME represented through the various categories has been a challenge, because the conflicts, tensions, correlation of forces, you can dispute are always present. This is positive in some circumstances since it is also possible the construction of educational policy in the midst of diversity of opinion. The categories of civil society organizations represented on the CME and have varying degrees of participation, some participate more actively while others have a lesser role at meetings of Board and sessions where they discussed and the proposals made with respect to construction of educational policy in Ananindeua. The lack of theoretical training and educational policy in some cases serve as a factor that limits social participation in the actions of the CME.
