Community Education Council
Community Education Councils (CECs) are education policy advisory bodies responsible for, among other things, reviewing and evaluating the district’s educational programs, approving zoning lines, and holding public hearings on certain matters. CECs must hold at least one public meeting per month, with the Community Superintendent, where the parents and the community may air their concerns. Each CEC consists of volunteer members who provide hands-on leadership and support for their district's public schools. Every community school district must have a Community Education Council (“CEC”) that consists of 12 voting members and two non-voting student members. Nine of the voting members are elected pursuant to the procedures set forth in CR D-140 and must, at the time of their election, be parents of students in grades Kindergarten through Eight, or in a Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) program, who are attending a school or a Pre-K program offered by a school under the jurisdiction of the community school district. A tenth voting member is elected pursuant to the procedures set forth in CR D-140 and must, at the time of their election, be a parent of a student in a District 75 school or program located within the CEC’s geographic district. The two remaining voting members are appointed by the Borough President. The student members are appointed by the community superintendent.
CEC 22 Meetings are usually held the first Tuesday of the month.
