Community Education Council
Community Education Councils, or CECs, allow for parent involvement on a district-wide level. Responsible for approving school zoning lines and hold hearings on capital plans, they also function as advisory bodies, identifying educational priorities in their districts, evaluating superintendents, advising the Chancellor and the Panel for Educational Policy, and serving as liaisons to School Leadership Teams (SLTs) and Presidents' Councils. CEC meetings, which are held at least every month, are open to the public.

Chancellor's Parent
Advisory Council
The Chancellor's Parent Advisory Council (CPAC) provides a way for parents to be involved in citywide education policy. CPAC consults with the district Presidents’ Councils to identify concerns, trends and policy issues, and advises the Chancellor to help shape DOE policy. CPAC also provides guidance to the Presidents’ Councils and relays information on DOE policy. CPAC meetings are held monthly at Tweed Courthouse (52 Chambers Street, New York, NY).

Panel for Education Policy
The Panel for Educational Policy, or PEP, allows for parent involvement on a citywide level. Responsible for some of the most significant decisions affecting the education system, the panel votes on the Chancellor’s proposed education policies, including school co-locations and closings, DOE contracts over $1 million, Gifted and Talented programs, and the citywide school budget. The PEP also advises the Chancellor on general matters affecting the city’s school districts and its students.
