Citywide CEC Elections - More Info
Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. is calling all civic and education-minded Queens residents interested in serving on a Community Education Council (CEC) for the 2025-2027 term, which begins on July 1, 2025.
CECs are composed of volunteers who help shape policies and priorities for New York City Public Schools. Each CEC works directly with district superintendents, reviews educational programs, approves school zoning lines and makes recommendations to improve services for public school students.
In Queens, the Borough President may appoint two members to each CEC for Districts 24 to 30. To be eligible, a candidate must either live or own/operate a business in the district. Here is the link to apply: https://bit.ly/queenscec

The deadline to apply is Friday, May 9th, at 5:00 p.m.

CEC 24 Your Partner in Education
Opening the doors to a brighter future
CEC24 Educates
CECs are education policy advisory bodies responsible for, among other things, reviewing and evaluating their district’s educational programs, approving zoning lines, and holding public hearings on certain matters.

CEC24 Empowers
CEC 24 offers parents the opportunity to support and impact education at the district level. With the support of our parent community we can make a difference.

CEC24 Engages
CECs hold at least one meeting per month with the community superintendent, open to the public, where the public may discuss the current state of the schools in the district and hear a report from the district leader.
