What is the Community Education Council?

Community Education Councils (CECs) are education policy advisory bodies responsible for, among other things, reviewing and evaluating the district’s educational programs, approving zoning lines, and holding public hearings on certain matters. Each CEC consists of 12 volunteer members who provide hands-on leadership and support for their district's public schools:

• 10 must be parents elected by Staten Island Families with children registered in NYC DOE public school
• 2 are residents and/or local business leaders appointed by the Borough President; and
• 1 is a non-voting high school senior who lives in the district and is appointed by the Community Superintendent.

Who is eligible to run for a seat on a CEC?

You are eligible to run if you are the parent of a student who currently attends Pre-K through 8th grade in a school under the jurisdiction of the Community School District where you wish to serve on the CEC. For the purpose of determining CEC eligibility, “parent” is defined in Chancellor’s Regulation D-140 as: A parent (by birth or adoption, step parent, or foster parent), legal guardian, or person in parental relation to a child. A person in parental relation to a child is a person who is directly responsible for the care and custody of the child on a regular basis in lieu of a parent or legal guardian. Of the 10 CEC seats filled in the election, 1 is reserved for the parent of a child currently enrolled is a D75 program, 1 is reserved for the parent of a child currently receiving special education services (“IEP parent”), and 1 is reserved for the parent of an English Language Learner who is currently in a bilingual or ESL program or was enrolled in such a program within the previous two years (“ELL parent”).
