Participating in these elections as a candidate or a voter is your chance to help shape the future of your school community, so it's important to get involved and make your voice heard. 

Starting in January 2025, parents will be able to apply to run for a seat on any of the 32 Community Education Councils and 4 Citywide Education Councils for which they are eligible. Then, candidates will campaign from late February through April, and finally, voting will take place from late April through May 13. 

Stay tuned for further updates as these dates approach. In the meantime, ensure you are signed up for a New York City School Account (NYCSA) which is necessary to run for a seat and vote.
