Prezado Kleber, se seu puder acrescentar, acho que o mais importante da discussão também é não levar ao pé da letra. Às vezes uma sugestão feita aqui não entra na categoria certa, como substantivo ou verbo. Mas pra mim o mais importante é que, alguém que se sente mais confortável ou que fez uma pesquisa, sugere um caminho. As adaptações necessárias serão feitas por quem iniciou o processo. O que tomo de enriquecedor é o processo técnico, a busca na área pertinente.
Kleber Pereira (asker) Dec 12, 2021:
Obrigado a todos! Talvez não ficou muito claro, mas não se trata da pessoa. Nesse caso, School management me parece a melhor tradução para Gestão escolar. Obrigado!
Oliver Simões Dec 12, 2021:
Contexto O contexto diz "se aplica em assumir a responsabilidade pelo bom funcionamento de um sistema". Suponho que a gestão escolar em si não pode assumir uma responsabilidade. Quem assume é o gestor. Como o contexto é ambíguo, as duas interpretações são perfeitamente válidas. No meu terceiro exemplo, "management" foi usado no sentido de "manager(s)". Trata'se de uma sinédoque (o abstrato pelo concreto). https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinédoque

@ "Gestão" cannot be a person, Doug. It's "management".
Douglas Bissell Dec 11, 2021:
It rather depends on whether you are talking about a person (school administrator US / Headmaster/mistress UK) or the knowledge (school management)

School management / manager

As a colleague already pointed out on the Discussion Board, it depends on whether you are referring to a person or the knowledge. If it's a person, both "school manager" and "school administrator" are used in American English. If it's the knowledge, "school management" would be a better translation.

Example Sentences

From the Virginia State Law Portal:
"A school manager is licensed to administer noninstructional responsibilities in an educational setting. For example, a school manager is restricted from evaluating teachers, supervising instruction, developing and evaluating curriculum, and serving as a school's student disciplinarian." https://law.lis.virginia.gov/admincode/title8/agency20/chapt...

"Management" used in the sense of "managers":

PS: If for some reason I don't respond to comments and/or disagrees, it's either because I'm too busy or simply chose not to address any negative/disagreeing comments that I've been getting for no apparent reason. My refusal to engage with whoever thumbs me down doesn't mean that I agree with them. Asker, please feel free to contact me (via inbox) if you need any clarification about my answer. Thank you.
