This article presents results of a Master’s Degree dissertation: “Direct Cost of Municipal Public School financing of Teresina city – Piaui”, which aimed to define the municipal educational cost , specially those related to the direct operational cost of seventeen institutions. This dissertation intended to answer three questions: a) what the student per year cost of public school in the basic education in Teresina city in 2006 is; b) what is the category or what are the categories of items which present a higher participation in the composition of direct cost of the municipal schools and what factors intervene in this cost?, and finally, c) what is the participation of Fundef in the composition of the student per year cost in the public education of Teresina city in 2006? In order to examine deeply the result of the last question, it was intended to disaggregate the expense per each student undertaken by the municipality of Teresina in 17 municipal public schools,intentionally chosen and giving special attention to some features, in order to identify Fundef’s participation in relation to the school expenses in the different stages of the Basic education in each zone covered by it (rural and urban). It was searched in Schultz (1973), Verhine (1998), Castro (1973), Davies (1999, 2004, 2005) studies and also in the current educational legislation, the necessary epistemology basis to dialogue with the collected data. It was concluded that the student per year cost of the schools remained pretty above of the student per year amount nationally defined for Fundef, which reinforces some criticism stood out in the literature about the lack of accomplishment by the Federal Government established by the 1st from the 6th article from the Law 9.424/96 which deals with the calculus methodology to define the national minimum amount.
