This article investigates the operating conditions of public K-12 schools located in the Jacuípe Basin Identity Territory, in the state of Bahia, with special attention to those located in rural and traditionally vulnerable areas. The qualitative research used secondary data from the 2023 School Census and normative documents from current education legislation as sources, aiming to understand the configuration of educational provision in these contexts. The results indicate that, although most schools are operating regularly, a significant number of schools remain closed, especially in rural settings. It was also found that more than 90% of the region's schools are not officially recognized as belonging to territories with distinct locations such as quilombola communities, agrarian reform settlements, or areas of traditional peoples and communities revealing the institutional invisibility of these collective entities. The analysis discusses the impacts of this lack of recognition on the implementation of the right to education and on public policies guided by equity, inclusion, and social justice. It concludes that it is necessary to strengthen the articulation between different institutional spheres, with a view to valuing regional specificities, enhancing the visibility of diverse territories, and ensuring adequate conditions for the functioning of public schools.
