There were 1,099 parents who submitted applications for one of 357 seats up for this year’s election. Voter turnout across New York City was low — 19,130 parents voted across the Five Boroughs, a number the DOE reached by tracking only the number of votes casted, not the number of eligible parent voters for elections, according to DOE spokesperson Nathaniel Styer.
“The person that was in charge of high schools was let go, for good reason,” Aubin said. “But they didn’t reassign anyone to make sure that high school are going to come out and vote.” Adriana Alicea, president of Community School District 28 Presidents’ Council, said in her speech at Gracie Mansion that she is “deeply concerned about the mismanagement of the election.” The elections team had told Alicea that she accepted an endorsement from a political action committee on her personal Twitter account, which the elections team called a “direct violation of the chancellor’s regulations.
“I’m deeply troubled by the DOE’s decision to investigate a single candidate so thoroughly in an effort to silence me,” Alicea said. “This investigation was clearly politically motivated. It is inappropriate. It’s an abuse of power.” “We believe that these demands are essential to ensure the integrity of the election results and to begin to rebuild trust between parent leaders and the DOE,” Alicea said. “We urge FACE to take these demands seriously and to cooperate with any independent recount or audit.”
“Instead of celebrating it, our District 75 candidates were mis-districted,” Healy said. “They did not show up on ballots when they were supposed to, for specific districts. They were not given the priority choices that were given, in terms of being seated at a local district.” Paullette Healy, vice president of the New York City Department of Education’s Citywide Council for Special Education, joins the protest against the management of the Education Council Elections outside of Gracie Mansion in Manhattan on Tuesday, June 20, 2023.Queens representative of the New York City Department of Education’s Panel for Educational Policy, also joined the rally in support of the group’s demands.
