This article aims to analyze the process of intersectoriality within the scope of the School Health Program (PSE) in the municipality of Santarém/PA, based on the perceptions of the work teams and the practices developed between 2011 and 2017. The locus consists of 13 health units and 13 schools in the municipality of Santarém. The target audience included components of the health teams linked to the PSE in 2011; and the members of the assisted school teams, totaling nine health and education professionals. With this study, it was found that the process of intersectoriality in the PSE is weakened by the lack of interaction between the sectors active in the Program and, mainly, by the inexpressive participation of the municipal GTI in the coordination of the activities of the PSE in Santarém, which may contribute to the non-effectiveness of its commitments agreed since 2011.
