Health Guidance for Ill Students
 

The winter season coincides with an increase in viruses and other illnesses within school communities. Please review Health Guidance and Resources for Families. In addition, if a student becomes ill during the school day, the school nurse will determine, based on the student’s symptoms and the nurse’s professional clinical judgement, if the student needs to go home. School nurses will work with school administrators and supervisors to ensure that students who are not well enough to stay in school are not sent back to class.

Community and Citywide Education Councils (CCECs)

العربية (Arabic) | বাাংলা (Bangla) | 普通話 (Chinese) | Français (French) | Kreyòl Ayisyen (Haitian Creole)

| 한국어 (Korean) | Pусский (Russian) | Español (Spanish) | ودرا (Urdu) | All Languages


What are CCECs?

Education councils help shape policies and priorities for New York City Public Schools (NYCPS). Each council has powers and duties concerning a range of matters, including reviewing educational programs, approving school zoning lines, and recommending improvements to support NYCPS students.

Types of Councils 

  • Community Education Councils (CEC): CECs are elected parents and community leaders dedicated to supporting local district schools and improving student achievement. Their responsibilities include evaluating programs, working closely with superintendents, approving zoning, and hosting public meetings to connect parents with resources and discuss NYCPS policies.  There are thirty-two CECs representing each district.

 

2.Citywide Education Councils: Citywide Education Councils are elected parents and community leaders who are responsible for advising and commenting on NYCPS educational practices that concern specific student populations. There are four councils, each representing a particular student group: 
  • Citywide Council on High Schools 
  • Citywide Council on English Language Learners 
  • Citywide Council on Special Education 
  • Citywide Council for District 75 

How to Get Involved

To run for a seat on council, you must be a parent or legal guardian of a child currently attending a school or program funded by New York City Public Schools. Additional eligibility requirements vary by council. Learn more: on.nyc.gov/Elections2025
