This study aimed to analyze the coordination of School Health Program (PSE) (Programa Saúde na Escola) and the perception which local managers had of the intersectioriality of the program. This is an evaluative and descriptive study with a qualitative approach and an intentional sample. The instrument for data collection was an electronic questionnaire. For the evaluation of closed questions, a descriptive analysis of data was carried out. For the analysis of open questions, the technique of content analysis proposed by Bardin was employed, along with the computer program ATLAS.ti. The results revealed that the respondents had the necessary knowledge for intersectoral work; however, it still needed conceptual adjustments. Furthermore, students did not participate in setting priorities, planning or scheduling actions. Therefore, it was concluded that training is needed to approach the professionals involved in PSE to enhance the communication and understanding of the conceptual foundations of the program.
