• Application Form for CEC28 Class Size Committee Membership

  Dear District 28 community,

   

  The Community Education Council 28 (CEC 28) created a Class Size Committee with the intention to inform, discuss and work together with different stakeholders in helping implement the Class Size Law in District 28 (D28) in a thoughtful way that doesn't harm any of our students or schools. Our focus is to discuss a way forward. We are not interested in discussing how the Class Size Law could be amended or avoided.

   

  We are planning to have monthly virtual meetings of about 1 hour. The time and date will depend on the availability of most class size committee members.

   

  We are interested to have representatives from D28 schools (elementary and/or middle school principals and/or teachers), D28 students (5th through 8th grade), parents and other important stakeholders such as elected officials or district 28 staff members.

   

  If you have a child currently enrolled in a D28 NYCPS from pre-k through 8th grade and would like to join us doing the work, you can apply here: D28ClassSizeMemberFORM

   

  Please submit this form latest by Monday, September 30, 2024.
