There are 32 Community Education Councils (CECs)
in New York City. Each CEC oversees a
Community School District that includes public
elementary, intermediate, and junior high
schools. Additionally, there are two Citywide
Education Councils that represent the
interests of high school and special education
parents. All Community and Citywide Education
Council members are selected for two-year
terms by the Parent Associations or Parent
Teacher Associations (PA/PTAs) of the schools
in their district.
Each CEC has 12 members, including nine
parents selected by the district's PA/PTAs,
two members appointed by the Borough
President, and one student member selected by
the Community Superintendent. On the Citywide
Council for Special Education, the two
appointments are made by the Public Advocate.
CECs hold monthly public meetings, and
contribute to shaping educational policy in
their districts. While different CECs may have
different priorities, they share the same set
of responsibilities established by state law
and implemented through regulations of the
Chancellor. These responsibilities include:
approving school zoning lines, holding
hearings on the capital plan, evaluating
community superintendents, and providing input
on other important policy issues.
