Members of the 32 Community Education Councils and 4 Citywide Education Councils are advocates for New York City students and families.

Don’t have a NYC Schools Account (NYCSA)? Create your account now at schoolsaccount.nyc; then, contact your school’s parent coordinator to complete the process and make sure your children are added to the account. To learn more about how to create and verify your account, please visit schools.nyc.gov/nycsa.
We encourage all parents in our school community to take this opportunity to make your voice heard. Don’t wait; submit your application to run for an education council seat before the new deadline on February 27,2025!
