Parents Take Lead in Education

The New York City Department of Education (DOE) recently announced that the new Parent Councils will expand the opportunity for parents to take a lead in the reform of New York City’s public schools. Each of the 32 Community Education Councils will consist of nine parent members selected by PA/PTA officers from schools in the district, two members appointed by the Borough President, and one student representative. The Citywide Council on Special Education will consist of nine parent members, two members appointed by the Public Advocate, and one student representative. To ensure that high school parents have the same leadership opportunities, Chancellor Klein created the first-ever Citywide Council on High Schools, which will consist of ten parent members and one student representative.#
