The study highlighted that there is a commitment of the managers towards the insertion of the sexual orientation in the school context, though the actions are still implemented in a insufficient manner; the educators sign lack o preparation when they face situations which demands a proclamation about the manifestations of the students about sexuality; The culture of the sexuality predominates, as factor of human reproduction and social risk; the school has a secondary role in the approach of questions which involve the sexuality, adopting postures of omission and/or not responsibleness by the demandings which are presented in the school environment; the insufficient participation of the family and inexistence of dialogical practice between school/family institutions favors a unilateral look of the problematic of the sexuality, generating conflicts of values.
