Education Councils

Community and Citywide Education Councils work with the Chancellor and district superintendents to review educational programs in each school district.

There are 32 Community Education Councils in New York City. Each community school district that includes public Kindergarten through 8th grade must have a Community Education Council.

There are also four Citywide Education Councils that advocate for students in special populations, including:

High schools
English Language Learners
District 75
Special Education

The deadline to apply to serve on an Education Council was March 13, 2019.
