Summary: This research has as its theme the implementation of the public policy of education for ethnic-racial relations. The objective was to identify the paths braided by the Municipal Secretariat of Education of Vila Velha (Espírito Santo, Brazil), trailed from the institutionalization of the Coordination of African, Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous Studies (Ceafri) in the construction of a public policy of affirmative action. Of qualitative approach, it is configured as a case study. The methodological procedures mixed analysis of documents from Ceafri's collection and application of questionnaires. The documents analysed included the legislation and publications of the municipality related to the institutionalization of Law 10639/2003, which requires the inclusion of the "Teaching of Afro-Brazilian and African History and Culture" as a cross-cutting theme in the curriculum of Basic Education. The actions were analysed taking into account the goals and axes presented in the national document that guides the municipal education systems in the implementation of the policy. We found actions that dialogue with this document, but the unequal disputes in the institutional space, originated by structural racism, generated irregularities and fragmentation of actions. This is reflected in the absence of resources (financial and human), in the indefinition about the priority in the treatment given to the policy and in the lack of a program with which the municipal management can evaluate its execution.
