• District 21's Community Education Council

  What are Education Councils?

  Education councils help shape policies and priorities for New York City Public Schools (NYCPS). By law, each council has powers and duties concerning a range of matters, including working directly with district superintendents, reviewing educational programs, approving school zoning lines, and making recommendations to improve services to NYCPS students. There are 32 Community Education Councils (CECs) and four Citywide Councils. Community Education Councils allow parents to get involved on the borough level where as the Citywide councils allow parents to get involved on the Citywide level.

• Every Day Matters!

  Every day in school is an opportunity to learn, connect, and grow.

  Every day in New York City Public Schools gives students the opportunity to learn, build meaningful relationships, discover their interests, and move closer to achieving their goals. Regular attendance helps students stay connected to their teachers, classmates, and school community so they can make the most of every opportunity. 

  Chronically Present (90%+ attendance) is the minimum benchmark for staying connected to learning. 

  Students who are Chronically Present:

  • stay engaged in learning and make steady academic progress,
  • build the knowledge and skills needed to graduate prepared for college, careers and life,
  • develop meaningful friendships and positive relationships with caring adults,
  • build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging,
  • explore academic, artistic, athletic, and career opportunities that match their interests,
  • and participate in field trips, clubs, performances, sports, leadership opportunities, and other enriching school experiences.

  Every Day Matters, and we're here to partner with you to help your child be Chronically Present—attending school consistently so they can learn, build relationships, and thrive.
