A court in São Paulo ruled to temporarily suspend the guidelines governing student behavior at civic-military schools implemented by Governor Tarcísio de Freitas. This decision came in response to a request from both the Public Ministry of São Paulo and the Public Defender's Office, citing the lack of consultation with experts and the school community in the formulation of these rules. The judge noted that these regulations contravened existing educational legislation at both state and federal levels.

Judge Paula Narimatu de Almeida pointed out that the "Civic-Military School Program of the State of São Paulo" was drafted by the State Department of Education without adhering to necessary legal protocols, which mandate involving relevant stakeholders in the drafting process. The ruling further emphasized that the decision made by the Council of Education was not respected, reinforcing the need for due process in educational reforms that impact students and teachers alike.

This ruling has significant implications for the governance of civic-military schools while highlighting ongoing debates about the militarization of education in Brazil. As the state navigates the repercussions of this decision, attention will also turn to whether there will be an appeal by the government and what this means for the future of civic-military initiatives in São Paulo's educational landscape.
