What is the CEC?
The Community Education Council (CEC) is made up of nine volunteer parents from District 30 elected for two-year terms by the core PTA officers in each District 30 school and two CEC members appointed by the Borough President. One additional member is a non-voting High School senior. Elected parents must have a child in a District school (charter school parents are not eligible).
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 SLT’s) on any proposed significant changes in utilization (phase out, grade configuration, re-siting, co-location) of any public district school
At each monthly meeting there is a report from the Community District Superintendent and an opportunity for the public to voice their concerns.
