Crystal Vera-Montalvo, Director of Community Educational Engagement at the College of Staten Island, has been appointed by NYC Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani to the City’s Panel for Educational Policy (PEP). Vera-Montalvo is one of 13 new members appointed by the Mayor.
“As a parent of two NYC public school students, I am grateful to serve in this role, and honored that I was invited as a mayoral appointee of the Mamdani administration,” Vera-Montalvo said. “Most of my academic, personal, and professional life has been about centering the voices of people who have been historically excluded or pushed to the margins of society. I hope to bring this lens to the PEP and continue to support schools as places of belonging for NYC youth, families, teachers, and staff. This responsibility is profoundly meaningful to me.”
