They operate as extensions of local school districts to help them meet their educational and financial goals by offering d educational programs and services. The Board of Regents and Commissioner of Education have also charged the 37 BOCES in New York State with providing leadership and developing the capacity of local schools to enhance and improve student achievement.

HOW IT WORKS BOCES
