A 5820 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Permits borough presidents to remove persons they appointed to a community district education council for criminal wrongdoing or misconduct

This bill allows borough presidents to remove members they appointed to community district education councils if those members engage in criminal wrongdoing or misconduct, as defined by the chancellor. It directly affects appointed council members who face potential removal for such conduct. The key mechanism requires the council to declare a vacancy and certify it to the chancellor after the borough president decides to remove the member for the specified reasons. This change amends existing education law to add this removal authority for appointed council members.
