  What do the Education Councils do?

  Community Education Councils (CECs) 

  CECs are composed of volunteer parents and community leaders who are responsible under state law for supporting their local district schools with the goal of raising student achievement. This support takes many forms: 

  • Collaborating with the superintendent in assessing the impact of the district’s educational programs and student progress.
  • Making recommendations for improvements to school buildings.
  • Providing input in the hiring of superintendents and parent coordinators, and submitting a yearly evaluation of the superintendent.
  • Approving zones for new schools and rezoning of existing schools when necessary.
  • Organizing town halls with the chancellor and holding hearings on the budget and other matters where the DOE is required to collect public feedback.
  • Providing input on DOE proposals for school closings and co-locations.
  • Through their public meetings, serving as a forum for parents to learn about DOE policies and initiatives and to express their views and concerns.
  • Supporting school communities by liaising with School Leadership Teams and helping connect parents with resources through presentations at their monthly meeting. 

  Citywide Education Councils 

  The four citywide councils represent the interests of: 

  • High school students (Citywide Council on High Schools [CCHS]);
  • English Language Learners (Citywide Council on English Language Learners [CCELL]); and
  • Students with disabilities (Citywide Council on Special Education [CCSE] and the Citywide Council for District 75 [CCD75]). 

  The citywide councils are responsible for advising and commenting on educational policies that involve the student communities they represent; issuing an annual report on the effectiveness of the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) in providing services to the represented student communities; and holding at least one public meeting per month during which the public may discuss issues facing high schools (CCHS), English Language Learners (CCELL), and students with disabilities (CCSE and CCD75). 

  The best way to learn about the councils is to see them in action. Attend their meetings and learn more About Community and Citywide Education Councils.

• Tell Governor & Legislators NO ZOMBIES!

  Dear Community,  We are hearing that the Governor and the legislature are about to agree on the budget with 22 zombie charters to be revived in exchange for the state paying for facilities rental.  Tell Governor & Legislators NO ZOMBIES! The Governor and the State legislators are still negotiating the state budget and as part of the negotiation, reviving "zombie charters" (charters that have been closed or never opened) is being considered.    Please send an email to the Governor, Speaker, Majority Leader and your Assembly member and Senator and tell them not to revive the zombie charters!  Click Here to Take Action Now! After you take the online action, please make two phone calls!  Call Your Assembly Member and Senator Now! Sharing the campaign by Class Size Matters:    Please call your legislators TODAY! Tell them NO MORE charter schools, Zombie or otherwise! You can find your Assembly Member's phone no. here; your State Senator's phone no. here. Call first to their Albany office; if you can't get through, then their district office. If you leave a message be sure to say you're a constituent, and leave your address and phone no. and ask them to call you back. A short script is below.    My name is ____, and I'm a constituent of [Assembly Member or Senator ___].  I'm calling to urge him/her to oppose allowing any more charter schools to open, either in NYC or statewide, whether zombie or otherwise, that could cost our public schools another billion dollars or more. I know my child's public school does not have a penny to spare. If speaking to a staffer: Do you know if s/he will fight to block any more charter schools?     If leaving a message: My address is ____, my phone # is ____, and I'd appreciate a call back to let me know his/her position on this issue.   Thanks!
