The same aims to examine the school pedagogical political project in order to verify their line with focused educational policies to the implementation of Bilingual education of the deaf in the municipality of Benjamin Constant. It proposes as specific objectives: 1) to describe the history of Bilingual education of the deaf in the constitution of citizenship; 2) To know the use of the legal bases of national education policy for bilingual education of deaf students in the municipality of Benjamin; 3) Check in the Pedagogical Political Project the supply of Bilingual Education for deaf students in two elementary schools in the municipality of Benjamin Constant. As a theoreticalsupportthefollowingauthorswereused: Quadros (2006); Skliar (1999,2006); Goldifeld (2002); Lima (2004, 2011); Nídia Sá (2002, 2011); Sacks (2010), Carvalho (2013), VEIGA (1995, 2013) amongothers. Thus, a qualitative approach to educational policies for the education of the deaf in a bilingual vision in international, national, and municipal levels, so that allows discussing the implementation of these policies in the school Political Project that is what regulates and organizes school life for deaf students. To do so, a documentary research was done in two municipal schools of Benjamin Constant. As a philosophical approach was adoptedHermeneutical Phenomenology in order to further elucidate the study in the search for understanding and interpreting the writing on existing texts on the subject, it was used as a methodological procedure document and literature review. For the analysis of data obtained in international documents, national, regional, local, and in the school Pedagogical Political Project was used discursive textual analysis (DTA) which is a technique that runs between analysis of the content and discourse analysis. To the study of the Pedagogical Political Project, documentary research got the result that the investigated schools ensure the deaf student input according to the law, though not set in this document actions, key strategies to meet the deaf learning differences in the educational process as: integration of LBS as a curricular component of the school, hiring other education professionals as deaf teacher, interpreter of Libras / Portuguese, Libras instructor and teacher of Portuguese language for the deaf. We also detected a lack of bilingual resource room for the deaf and one of the key impediments in education is the lack of adoption of LBS in the curriculum, professional bilingual education. Therefore, communication is an element that hinders the inclusion of the deaf by the lack of teacher training. Anyway, educational inclusion is not guarantee enrollment, but rearrange the school to meet the real basic needs of education which will enable him to have access to school content, feel desire to remain and continue in school so as to build their cultural identity and civic education.
