• NYSED Regionalization Initiative – Recently, the NY State Education Department (NYSED) announced an initiative to identify opportunities for collaboration that might result in cost-saving efficiencies or greater educational opportunities for students in our region. To start, school districts have been asked to complete a survey detailing student achievement, course offerings and operations. NYSED has clearly expressed that this is not an attempt to merge school districts or consolidate them within BOCES. Although we are only in the data collection phase, we’ve created a webpage with helpful resources for community members wishing to learn more and we will continually update it once the regional meetings begin and a plan starts taking shape. Plans will not be finalized until October of next year.
