The Role of CEC
 

The Community Education Council (CEC) is made up of nine volunteer parents from district 24 elected for two-year terms by the core PTA officers in each district one school. Two additional CEC members are appointed by the borough president and one is a non-voting high school senior. Elected parents must have a child in a district school (or in the last two years).

 

The CEC’s responsibilities are set by NY state law, and include:

•  Approving changes to zoning lines

• Reviewing the district’s education programs

•  Evaluating the district superintendent

• Assisting SLTs (student leadership team)

• Holding public forums

•  Hosting joint public hearings (with affected SLTs) on

any proposed significant changes in utilization (phase-out, grade configuration, re-siting, co-location) of any public district school

​

At each monthly calendar meeting, there is a report from the community district superintendent and an opportunity for the public to voice their concerns.

 

 

Each CEC member also serves as a liaison to a school in the district.
