Candidate Forums

The Candidate Forums is your chance to get to know the candidates running for Community and Citywide Education Councils. Most forums will be held online via Zoom — just pick the one you're interested in and register.

District Presidents' Councils are holding Community and Citywide Education Council (CCEC) Election candidate forums from now through April 24. The candidate forums give parents and community members an opportunity to meet the candidates, helping them gain insight into each candidate’s vision for the councils.
