2025 CEC Elections: Vote online from April 25 through May 13.
Please help support PLACE NYC’s advocacy by voting for our recommended candidates for Citywide and Community Education Councils (CEC) listed below.
These candidates are the ones we believe best align with our education advocacy based upon evaluation of: candidate statements, CEC forum participation, past CEC voting records, and statements made in public speaking sessions at education meetings (if available). We also took into consideration the candidates’ understanding of CEC’s roles and responsibilities, as well as personal leadership experience and commitment to helping NYCPS families.
Find your school in the list below and vote for the recommended slate.
