Core Values

We embrace innovation & creativity. We make student-based decisions with honesty, respect & integrity. We collaborate, focused on quality service, expertise & student success.

The Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) in New York State was established in 1948 to provide cost-effective shared educational programs and services to school districts. Now, 70 years later, the goal remains the same, but has evolved to include a focus on preparing students for their role in a global economy while collaborating with districts to close gaps in student achievement.

Each school day the programs and services we provide impact the more than 17,000 students that attend our nine Oswego County School Districts. We not only provide outstanding educational experiences, but also offer cost effective cooperative services and programs to the districts themselves.

In addition to our educational programs, our many services bring cultural experiences to the local schools, books to their libraries and the latest in technology to their students. The success of Oswego County's more than 17,000 students is our mission.

We also strive to enhance the lives of our residents by providing adult education offerings such as High School Equivalency (formerly GED), continuing education and enrichment classes and adult literacy lessons through our partnership with Cayuga Community College.
