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
