There’s not much time left to make your mark on this year’s CCEC Elections

From now through our new extended deadline on Thursday, February 23, 2023, all parents/guardians of current New York City public school students can apply to run for seats on any of the City’s 36 Community and Citywide Education Councils (CCEC) during the 2023 CCEC Elections being held later this year.
CCECs are made up of elected and appointed parent volunteers who play vital roles in shaping important decisions in school districts across all five boroughs. Each serving two-year terms, CCEC members have an opportunity to be an advocate for their communities and build relationships with other parents and school leaders along the way.
CCEC member responsibilities include:
- reviewing district educational programs and improvements to school buildings;
- approving zoning lines;
- organizing public meetings and town halls; and
- working together with both district and DOE leaders to make recommendations on a variety of issues
By participating in this year’s elections, whether as a candidate in February, or as a voter later this year, you’ll be making your voice heard and help shape education policies and programs for months and years to come.
