Community and Citywide Education Councils are deliberative bodies that help to shape educational policies and priorities in their districts. CEC members are parent volunteers who provide hands-on leadership and support for their community's public schools. Participation on these councils is an important responsibility that we encourage every public school parent to consider. To help each council run effectively and in accordance with the law, council members are trained within the first three months of their term about the specific powers, functions and duties of the their council.
