Management model in education – it is the way how a local government manages their key resources (principal, teachers) to provide stakeholders with expected value in education (key priorities in education) securing its realisation in compliance with public finance regulations and rules of cost-effectiveness. The article demonstrates the educational management system in Radom in years 2014−2016. It focuses on the specific roles of educational centres which, as organisations, do not create a specific product, but form intellectual capital subjected to protection. The intellectual capital must be protected since schools are responsible for mass education and safety of their students. Employees of all tiers in education form human resources in education. Ethics and responsibility, theoretically, are essential elements of the value in respect to students. Hence, it is important to carry out research how the education management system operates within a borough. The results of field research on local government in Radom show mixed attitudes to the education management system. The access to data regarding management is limited. The role of the principal as an independent manager is ambiguous. The school finance are highly dependent on the local government unit, whilst the management of human resources is limited by education law, formal and informal employment guidelines passed on during various trainings, recruiting a headteacher which is run by school authority in strict compliance with the ordinance of the Minister of Education of 27 October 2009 on requirements to be met by a principal or other managerial posts in schools and education centres (Dz.U. nr 184, poz. 1436 zpóźn. zm.), assignment distribution rigorously controlled by teacher unions, regulatory body excessively defined by education law
