Panel for Education Policy (PEP)

The Panel for Educational Policy (PEP) is a 24-member, voting body overseeing New York City Public Schools (NYCPS) and is comprised of community leaders across every neighborhood and borough of New York City. From former educators and principals to advocates, parents, and specialists in their field the Panel stands behind the unifying tenet to represent the diversity of voice and opinion within New York City school communities while promoting equity in education. As codified in the Bylaws, the Panel believes that education is a fundamental human right, and that it is our duty to ensure that all students have equal access to the opportunity and resources needed to reach full potential.
