To vote, log into your NYC Schools Account! (If you need help check out out FAQ or email your school's parent coordinator.)
For District 2, each school has a slate of 3 candidates (out of several that we are supporting) because there are 3 votes per student. If you have multiple students, please vote your school's slate for each one.
Different slates by school helps to distribute votes where needed. We want to win every seat on the board.
