Voting for New York City's parent education councils has been marred by chaos, technical issues, and ballot discrepancies, particularly in District 1. Parents were notified of a missing candidate on the ballot and have been asked to re-vote, causing frustration and claims of disenfranchisement. The city Department of Education's Office of Family and Community Engagement (FACE) has faced criticism for its handling of the elections, spending millions while yielding low voter turnout. Parent leaders are demanding an audit to investigate the voting errors and protect the integrity of parent representation.
Ultimately, the city Department of Education's Office of Family and Community Engagement (FACE), which administers the elections, has been criticized for its handling of the voting process, facing claims of dysfunction and incompetence.
Noah Harlan, the president of the council, stated that the mishaps have left families feeling disenfranchised, igniting calls for an urgent audit of the election process.
