Community Education Council Members
I am reporting with a great deal of excitement that District 12 parents are highly involved to play an active role in public education and represent their children and school communities. As of March 21, 2015, forty-two parents applied for their community school District 12 - CEC. This participation represents 23.3% among all Community School Districts in the Bronx.
The Citywide Education Council promotes parent involvement at the city level. Each Council advocates for a specific population rather than a district: high school students, students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), English language learners, and students in District 75 programs.
There are 4 Citywide Councils:
· Citywide Council on High Schools (CCHS): 10 parents (2 per borough) selected by high school parents; and 3 appointees (one each from the Public Advocate, CCSE and CCELL)
· Citywide Council on Special Education (CCSE): 9 parents of students with IEPs, selected by parents; and 2 appointees from the Public Advocate;
· Citywide Council on English Language Learners (CCELL): 9 parents of students in a bilingual or ESL program, selected by parents; and 2 appointees from the Public Advocate
· Citywide Council for District 75 (CCD75): 9 parents of students in a District 75 program, selected by parents; and 2 appointees from the Public Advocate
All Citywide Councils also include a non-voting high school student.
