This case study investigates the management strategies adopted by the Federal Institute of Ceará – Aracati Campus during the budget contingencies between 2017 and 2020. Based on official documents, budget reports, and institutional records, the research analyzes public governance practices and resilient financial planning. It examines an integrated set of managerial measures implemented under technical leadership, including contract restructuring based on cost-effectiveness criteria, operational expenditure rationalization guided by performance indicators, and internal contract reviews focused on cost optimization without compromising service effectiveness, ensuring both efficiency and compliance. Furthermore, the strengthening of intergovernmental dialogue and innovation in public procurement played a fundamental role in mitigating the impacts of fiscal constraints.
The results demonstrate that the strategic actions of institutional leadership ensured not only the continuity of educational services but also significant gains in financial efficiency and sustainability. The study contributes to the ongoing debate on fiscal resilience in Brazilian public education, offering practical insights for managers facing similar challenges in scenarios of austerity.
