NYC parents urge de Blasio to reform Bloomberg’s educational policies
Community Education Councils (CECs) representing parents citywide have signed on to a letter to Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio raising concerns in numerous areas, including the decision-making processes put in place by the Bloomberg administration.
CEC’s have replaced local school boards.
The statement calls for, among other things, reform of the Panel for Education Policy, a return to a Community School District structure, serious changes to the way that decisions are made concerning the space allocations to schools and future construction and educational programming, and reversal of the contested co-locations approved by Bloomberg’s Panel for Education Policy late this year.
