District 4 Community Education Council
In Partnership With Our Community
Welcome!
On July 1, 2004, the NYC Community Education Councils and Citywide Councils began their historic new role in educational history. The Councils, known as CECs, have in essence replaced each district’s Community School Board.
The CEC serves as an advisory board providing input and comment to the Chancellor and the Panel for Educational Policy regarding the needs of the district and DOE policy, in addition to policy implementation. We serve as advocates for the parents of the district, as well as the district itself to the Chancellor and PEP.
There are 32 CECs in NYC, one for each of the community school districts. There is also a Citywide Council on Special Education (CCSE),a Citywide District 75 Council (CD75), a Citywide Council on High Schools (CCHS), and a Citywide Council on English Language Learners (CCELL).
Dear Community,
We still have two vacant seats on our council! We are looking for motivated parent leaders to join our council and represent our community!
CCSE and CCELL appointee options have been added to the English vacancy application: https://www.schools.nyc.gov/get-involved/families/education-councils/elections/vacancy-application-forms
This application requests information that should be kept confidential (e.g., names of children, your home address).
Interesting candidates should complete an application and e-mail it to CCECInfo@schools.nyc.gov or mail it to:
