District 26 overview
NYC Geographic District #26 - Queens
What Community Education Council 26 records about local schools, budgets, and priorities.
Who makes local school decisions?
Community Education Council 26 represents District 26 families in Queens. Its public meetings document local priorities, superintendent reports, resolutions, and advocacy. The council does not directly control the citywide NYCPS budget, school-construction capital plan, or systemwide policy.
Public representation
The council holds calendar and business meetings, records public comment, adopts resolutions, and elects officers.
Budget and class-size advocacy
The council receives district budget updates and uses public meetings to raise school-level funding and class-size concerns.
Facilities and planning
The council identifies School Construction Authority priorities and receives enrollment and capacity information from district planning staff.
The available official minutes run from September 2025 through July 2026. They record the council's actions and local reports, not proof of implementation by NYCPS, the SCA, or other agencies.
