Wednesday night: School governance, D1 end-of-year report, SIPP update

On Saturday morning, the Chancellor spoke to the Education Council Consortium (ECC), made up of CEC and Citywide Council members from across the city and responded to a presentation from the Equity & Diversity Working Group.

The Chancellor agreed to attend (or send a representative to) Wednesday night’s meeting to address our ongoing questions regarding the commitment of words but not action with regard to the segregated state of our D1 and city schools.

Join us for this discussion and for:

* The Superintendent’s year-end report and safety & bullying protocols
*  School governance: parents’ roles in school decision-making under mayoral control.
*  Mayoral control is the school governance system that we have, unlike the elected school boards in most of the country that grant parents decision-making power.

Agenda
*  Wednesday 5/24: CEC1 Calendar meeting
*  6:00 to 8:30pm at PS 20 (166 Essex St.).
*  Refreshments and childcare provided. Please RSVP for childcare to cec1@schools.nyc.gov.

CEC1 is Hiring
