Community and Citywide Education Councils (CCEC) work with the Chancellor and district superintendents to review educational programs in each school district.
There are 32 Community Education Councils in New York City. Each community school district that includes public Kindergarten through 8th grade must have a Community Education Council.
There are also four Citywide Education Councils that advocate for students in special populations, including:
- High schools
- English Language Learners
- District 75
- Special Education
Parents and guardians of NYC public schools can sign up to run for an Education Council seat beginning January 13, 2025.
For parents or guardians to run or vote, they must first sign up for a NYC Schools Account by going to schoolsaccount.nyc.
