This work was developed with the objective to evaluate the Environmental Management (EM) implemented in public schools in the municipality of Erechim - RS, trying to establish a relationship between Environmental Education (EE) and Environmental Management (EM), as well as to demonstrate their importance to face the socioenvironmental challenges. The technique used for the data collection was a semi-structured interview, using as a 26-question questionnaire as a basis, aimed at the administrators of public schools in the municipality of Erechim. As a result, the research revealed that a significant part of the interviewed do not possess a good perception about what environmental management is and its importance in the school environment, in addition to being unaware the fundamental relationship that there is between EE and EM. In issues regarding the management of environmental aspects, it was verified that most schools act only with emphasis on garbage separation and there is not the management of the remaining aspects such as the rational usage of water, care with afforestation, beds of plants and monitoring the correct disposal of waste. Thus, it is inferred that the administration of schools are not prepared to work with EE and EM in a way that they can relate one with the other, which is not consistent with good sustainable practices that the school environment should provide. The analysis of the data also favored that some proposals and suggestions were made to schools, for example, a course aimed at school administrators about EE and EM, and a School Environmental Management Plan (SEMP), which should be continuous, permanent and that will contribute significantly to the process of environmental conservation.

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
