Allows the president of the citywide council on high schools to participate in the selection of the members of the board of education elected by the community district education council presidents.

New York Assembly Bill A10446, introduced on March 6, 2026, proposes to amend the Education Law to allow the president of the Citywide Council on High Schools to participate in the selection of five members of the Board of Education. These five members are currently elected by the community district education council presidents. The bill aims to include the high school council president in this selection process, thereby giving high school representation a role in choosing these board members. The bill is set to take effect on July 1, 2027.

Positive media analysis is being generated.

Although there is no specific media coverage on Bill A10446, critics might contend that adding the high school council president to the selection process could complicate the existing system and potentially lead to conflicts or delays in decision-making. They may also argue that this change could disproportionately influence the selection process in favor of high school interests, possibly at the expense of other educational levels.
