From the
Board President
The 2015 year provided us an opportunity to further appreciate our organization. The transition period
that began this year as we search and prepare for our new District Superintendent has allowed us to work
closely with highly skilled and widely respected professionals, both inside and outside our organization.
This transitional time has also revealed many opportunities for improvement, and has helped us appreciate
the remarkable work our employees do to keep us moving forward. They have proven themselves to be a
resilient group, deeply dedicated to the students entrusted to us by our component Districts.
The BOCES Board of Education extends a warm welcome to David Cruikshank (Otselic Valley) and Vanessa
Warren (Afton), who joined the Board in July of 2015. Each of these Board members shares the Board’s
commitment to working together with our Districts, putting students first.
We were very sad to lose Richard Dillon, a BOCES Board member who was known for his lifetime of selfless
work on behalf of all students in our region. Dick passed away in the early fall of 2015 and leaves a legacy
of service, perseverance, and great humor. He will be deeply missed.
Our obligation as a Board was to fill Dick’s seat on the Board. The results of the election held on November 30
added Linda Tuller (Unadilla Valley) to the Board table; we welcome Linda, and look forward to a long and
productive relationship.
Sincerely,
Linda Zaczek

In Memory of
Richard Dillon
DCMO BOCES Board member
Richard (Dick) A. Dillon
passed away on Monday,
September 28, 2015. He was
born on April 7, 1939 and
married Joan Van Wickle on
October 7, 1961. Dick served
in education for 55 years and
unselfishly supported students
at the Hancock Central School District where he retired
as Superintendent of Schools. Dick served for 13 years
on the DCMO BOCES Board of Education. Over that
time, in addition to his contributions to education,
Dick also served the Orange Lake Soup Kitchen and
Food Pantry with his time and financial resources. His
commitment and efforts will be remembered by all.
From the
Chief Operating Officer
A man came home from work late in the afternoon after a long and hectic day.
Tired, he sat down to read the newspaper. His young son came in and asked
him to go outside and play catch. “No,” the father said, “I need to sit and
read.” Five minutes later the boy was back, pestering his dad to come outside.
“Look,” the father said, “I want you to do something for me.” With that he
cut a map of the world out of the newspaper, tore it in half, then quarters,
then eights and finally into sixteenths. “Now, take this out to the kitchen and
put it back together,” he instructed.
The son was back in two minutes with the map correctly taped together.
“I’m impressed,” said the dad. “How did you put the world back together
so quickly?”
“Well, Dad,” said the son, “there was a boy’s picture on the other side of the
map and I just fitted the boy together.”
Moral: Put the youngster together right and the world will take care of itself.
The role DCMO BOCES plays in trying to put our youngsters together right is to be a
support for local school districts. Our local schools come together, identify problems
and work with DCMO to find solutions. We may, together, identify a technical career
program that is too expensive for local districts to provide, but by coming together
we can create a program that each school sends one or two students to and it becomes
cost effective for all. We may, together, identify a small population of students who
have very particular physical, mental or emotional challenges that are too complex for
each school to deal with; however, by coming together, we can establish a specialized
program for that small number of students in a cost effective and local way. We may,
together, identify that our small local schools are struggling with the cost to each
have their own full business office; however, by coming together, we can create a
central business office that meets each school’s needs, provides redundancy, and is
significantly less expensive.
DCMO’s purpose is to support our 16 local component districts by providing requested,
quality services less expensively than any one school could provide on its own. In that
way we allow local districts to better focus on, “putting the youngster together right.”
Peace,
Gray Stevens

Career Academy
Students who need a safety net and resources to overcome challenges and complete a high school program
benefit from Career Academy. Our team works hard overcoming the barriers for students to achieve a high
school diploma. We combine team efforts to help our students cope and develop as productive citizens.
Students in our Career Academy program are engaged in earning a high school diploma.
Adult and Continuing Education
Adult and Continuing Education programs help develop the area’s workforce. The health occupations
programs prepare adults to become state or nationally certified and enter the job market as Certified
Nurse Aides (CNA), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) and Certified Phlebotomy Technicians. Business
and Industry training opportunities provide working adult students with the ability to learn and earn.
Adults who wish to obtain a high school equivalency diploma find conveniently scheduled classes that
are designed to strengthen academic skills necessary to pass the state-approved high school equivalency
exam. English as a Second Language classes help adults whose primary language is other than English
read, write, and communicate effectively in order to become successfully employed.
Special Education
Students with special needs and disabilities residing in the DCMO BOCES region are served by a team
of professionals at both of our campuses as well as at satellite locations. This collaborative service allows
students and their families to benefit from a larger pool of resources, outstanding assessment tools, and
comprehensive services. Our goal is to inspire learning and help our students develop critical skills to
help them collaborate and function to the best of their capacity.
Programs for
Our Educators
Our component schools count on us to support their
instructors with professional development training and
many other shared resources that enhance education.
Instructional Support
Services Offers:
• Staff development and training programs focused
on improving student performance
• District support with federal and state initiatives
including the Regents Reform Agenda
• School Library System with regional data base of
library holdings, Interlibrary Loan Service and
library automation
• Model Schools and Learning Technologies
providing staff development, hardware, and
software support
• Technical Repair Services of technology equipment
• Courier Service provides schools a reliable source
to send and receive packages, mail and resources.
DCMO BOCES serves all 16 component school
districts with daily transfers.
We also support our schools with educational enrichment
programs such as:
• Spelling Bee Competition
• Scholar Recognition Banquet
• It’s a Guy Thing (Career planning event for boys)
• Women Helping Girls Make Choices (Career
development event for girls)
• Odyssey of the Mind
Programs for
Our Schools
When our schools access goods and services at a lower cost and with greater efficiency,
they can shift those savings to programs that impact our students’ opportunities. School
districts partner with us not only to save money but also to access larger pooled resources.
The following are some of the programs we offer to our school districts:
Print and Copy Services
From classroom learning documents to school calendars, our print and copy center provides
schools with access to state of the art copying and printing equipment. Thousands of
copies are produced and delivered to school districts every day. We invest in a skilled labor
workforce, training, and specialized equipment so that our schools can access commercial
quality services at a fraction of the cost.
Central Business Services (CBO)
Hiring, training, and retaining skilled office support staff is costly and time-consuming. The
option for schools to share experienced staff via the CBO is a proven and effective model for
cost-reduction and improved quality in the services provided. The CBO hires experienced
staff, trains them to meet the unique challenges facing districts in today’s complex world
of school finance, and employs them in a team-based approach to service delivery. CBO
can support districts’ needs for Payroll, Accounts Payable, Attendance, Claims Auditing,
Tax Collection, Payment of Sports Officials, and Section IV fingerprinting clearance. In
2015 the CBO added a Shared School Business Official service. This service currently
provides the services of two Business Officials, shared among three participating districts.
CBO strives for excellence in its business support services and this is validated annually
through the positive comments received by districts’ external auditors.
Special Programs Financial Tracking
Since 2004, Special Program Finances service has worked closely with DCMO component
districts, with a goal of maximizing Excess Cost Aid through collaborative efforts. By
working together for the benefit of our students and districts, each component district
continues to increase and thrive with their Excess Cost Aid. Each year, together we grow
and find new and creative ways to maximize all State and Federal funding streams.
Cooperative Purchasing
It has long been known that purchasing cooperatively and competitively results in savings,
not only in lower pricing, but in time and effort. The Cooperative Purchasing Service enables
participating districts, large and small, to secure the pricing and advantages of large volume
purchasing through aggregate bidding. Participating districts benefit by receiving quality
products at the lowest price available, which results in dramatic and realized savings of tax
dollars. The service bids several different commodities, from Athletic Supplies and Buses
to Fuel and Food. The overall savings performance of Cooperative Purchasing indicates that
the service takes seriously the dutiful and important work of saving tax dollars for school
districts. Last year the combined member savings through the service exceeded $3,000,000!
Cafeteria Management
Our School Food Management service provides cafeteria management for many of our
component school districts. Just like the Central Business Office service, schools gained
from sharing the cafeteria management staff especially when dealing with new nutrition
mandates. In 2015 our cafeteria management service provided over 1.6 million meals to
students.
Employee Relations
Employee Relations provides advice to school districts regarding federal and state labor
and education laws. The service also provides assistance in a wide array of employee and
student discipline matters, as well as offering seminars based on various legal issues.
Moreover, Employee Relations provides at-the-table negotiation assistance, including head
negotiator duties, drafting/reviewing proposals, and impasse proceedings. Finally, the
service provides representation before the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB)
and for arbitrations.
Records Management
Our schools face the need to retain and manage multiple records. DCMO BOCES provides
school districts with records management services. This reliable service allows schools
to delegate the task of converting files to digital format or to index and store important
documents. This efficient system also allows schools to access records quickly, to help
their teams handle research, and locate important data.
Spotlight on
Career & Technical Education
Iron Chef competitors from the Culinary Arts program.
Raymond Corporation — Manufacturing Day event participants.
Our students rave about the hands-on learning they receive at DCMO
BOCES. The 2015 year brought new opportunities for our students
to engage in activities that lead to exposure to the job market and
also for broader recognition. We focused on developing good citizens
through leadership opportunities and we are doing so by connecting
our students to business and community leaders.
This year, our students participated in Bassett Research Institute’s
Junior Iron Chef Competition. The event took place on a Saturday
at the Foothills Performing Arts and Civic Center in Oneonta. Our
students took their classroom learning to a new level. The format is
conducive to challenging both their creative skills as well as strategic
thinking. When we connect learning to fun, the outcome is a “splendid
recipe for success.”
The Raymond Corporation engaged with our educators to make a
difference. John Sassani felt that the students needed to have a greater
understanding of job opportunities at manufacturing firms and
also to connect to the workplace skill requirements. To achieve our
goals, Mr. Sassani joined our educators and presented at both of our
campuses to help students understand the job recruitment process and
how to prepare. To further introduce students to the manufacturing
industry, Raymond hosted the 2015 Manufacturing Day at their
facility. The experience gave students from our component school
districts the opportunity to connect with potential future employers
and to consider careers with local manufacturers.
Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSO) involvement
became another focal point for our team. Now, more than ever, we
encourage our students to join organizations like SkillsUSA, FFA,
and the National Technical Honor Society. When our students join
and participate, they become active learners. Our staff devotes
countless hours to research and develop new ideas to continue to
engage our students. We are proud to add leadership, good citizenship,
and teamwork skills to our Career and Technical programs and will
continue to explore partnerships with our community and business
leaders to shape the workforce of the future.
“If your actions inspire others to dream more,
learn more, do more, You Are A Leader.”
— John Quincy Adams
Spotlight on
Special Education
We are doing more with less and much more with love.
This has been a remarkable year for the special education
program. We are faced with greater challenges and yet, our
staff manages to come up with better solutions to help our
students strive. In terms of numbers, this year we served
253 total students in our special education program. We
added three positions in itinerant services to support our
component school districts. Our itinerant services are
provided at all of our 16 component districts. We will
continue to see this growing trend indicating greater needs
for professionals that can impact the future of our students.
Moving away from statistics, the human element that
makes this program so wholesome rose to the top with
absolute creativity on the part of our staff. This summer our
educators organized events focused on giving back to the
community. One opportunity for giving included gathering
warm winter blankets to share with families in need. The
effort was supported by the students, parents and by our
staff. These type of activities bring a touch of fun to our
program and allows us to teach our students about the need
to also care for others. Our passion points to making every
minute count to help our students overcome challenges and
strengthen their spirit.

Instructional Support Services
David Liben
On October 9, participants from
seven districts came together
for the Superintendents’
Conference Day for a webinar
with David Liben, Senior
Literacy Specialist for Student
Achievement Partners, who
participated in the writing of
the Common Core Standards.
The region had been engaged
in a study of David Liben’s
work over the past 18 months.
The study of Liben’s work included the “Both And” paper and
the claim that current gaps in students’ reading ability are due to
a failure to develop vocabulary, knowledge, and fluency.
The webinar provided teachers and principals an opportunity
to deepen their understandings of the key literacy philosophies
and practices that are, students who present with reading
deficits can learn to read and comprehend as well as their
peers if they are given targeted, research-based opportunities;
text sets not only build a coherent body of knowledge, but
also level the playing field for students and result in equity
of curricula—students need access to complex text, which
teachers can facilitate by supplying supports rather than
differentiated texts; and whole group, shared reading provides
an important opportunity for reading instruction. Questions
were answered throughout the presentation which addressed
district-specific implementation.
Spotlight on
Adult & Continuing Education
The Adult and Continuing Education programs are regarded as
critical resources in our communities. Our short-term career
education programs prepare adults for in-demand jobs, the adult
literacy program provides opportunities for students to obtain a
high school equivalency diploma, the English as a Second Language
program promotes skill development in speaking, reading, writing
the English language, and our leisure education provides an excellent
network for our community to gather and learn.
What made 2015 such an exceptional year were the partnerships
we developed with businesses, community agencies, colleges, and
employers. The common goal for our efforts is to develop programs
that prepare adults for success in the world of work. The LPN program
is a good example of great collaboration between our educators
and healthcare institutions in the region. This year the program’s
graduation rate was 81% and the pass rate on the New York State
Practical Nurse License exam was 93%. Likewise, more than 40
individuals completed the Certified Nursing Assistant training
program and more than 20 completed the Certified Phlebotomy
Technician program. The combined pass rate on the state and
national certification exams was 90%. With these specific industry
certifications, we strengthened the local workforce and provided
our students with the skills and abilities to be financially successful.
We continue to work with multiple community leaders to develop
programs that meet our employer’s needs. An example is our initiative
with interested community leaders and grant funders to develop a
training program that will ensure skilled workers are available for
the construction of the Constitution Pipeline. Because we have such
a strong network of partners and supporters, we will continue to
develop and enhance programs in order to prepare our students for
essential and high demand occupations. We welcome the ideas and
feedback of employers interested in our efforts. Employers please
contact Audrey Benkenstein, Director of Adult and Continuing
Education at 607-335-1245 for more information.
Spotlight on
Technology Support Services
Thanks to technology, our component schools can compete at the same level as urban schools. Our team of professionals work hard to identify as well as support
the technologies needed to enhance both teaching and learning. It is our goal to ensure that our students have the opportunity to develop the skills needed to
succeed in the 21st Century.
As a part of our learning technologies service our school districts are able to save money and take advantage of many shared technologies. Such technologies
include, 3D Printers, telepresence robots, robotics kits, Lego kits, video conferencing technologies and more.
We are also supporting our school districts communications needs. Our Public Relations program works with our schools to improve websites, write and broadcast
news releases, coordinate and publicize events and also to develop better communication tools to convey complex topics like school budgets or capital project
details. Using social media, school websites and other technologies
our schools are effectively able to reach larger audiences to keep
them informed of all that is being done to offer the best educational
opportunities to students.
In 2015 we offered one of our new services for live broadcasting and
hosting school video. Live broadcasted events are streamed to a school
district website that allows parents, friends and community members
to sit in the front row of sporting events, school performances and
special programs. These live streaming events can be viewed from
any Internet connected device. In addition to live streaming video,
schools can also use this service to host recorded video. Teachers
making their own instructional videos for students, video projects
created by students and many other recorded educational videos can
all be stored on our system and later viewed on any device. This
service increases a school district’s control over their media and
saves money by sharing infrastructure costs with the other districts
participating in the service.
As we move forward into 2016 we continue to support classroom
technology integration and technology education. Our best reward
comes from knowing that we are putting the best technology available
in the hands of our students at a fraction of the cost. As technology
continues to evolve, we will be there to support our school districts
so that integration is a success for all.

Last spring the Harrold Campus Culinary Arts
students joined 2015 Bassett Research Institute’s
Junior Iron Chef Competition at the Foothills
Performing Arts and Civic Center in Oneonta.
This is a competition for teams of various middle
and high school students to develop and make
healthy, tasty dishes that could be prepared in a
school cafeteria. This year’s competition was open
to school teams in Delaware, Herkimer, Madison,
Montgomery, Oneida, Otsego and Schoharie
Counties. The competition is organized into two
divisions, middle school and high school. Middle
school teams compete in the morning and high
school teams in the afternoon, with each division
including up to 12 teams. Competing teams consist
of three to five youth members and one to two
supervising adult coaches. The experience inspired
many of our culinary arts students to explore new
techniques and become active learners.
2015 National Technical Honor Society Induction
Ceremony, Chenango Campus and Harrold Campus
Families, faculty, and friends joined the DCMO BOCES team to participate in the
2015 National Technical Honor Society (NTHS) Induction Ceremony. NTHS strives to
bring well-deserved recognition, scholarship opportunities, and career opportunities
to students who excel in one of the 108 career and technical educational fields as their
profession. Not only do NTHS students
embody all the attributes and talent
which is in demand today, but these
students also embrace a clear vision for
tomorrow’s workforce and their role in
it. NTHS understands changes in the
industry within local communities and
on a global scale. Chenango Campus
Building Principal Judith McCann
congratulated the students for their
exceptional performance and recognized
their families for their support.
Economic Development Video
2015 Business Round-Up Event Deemed a Success
An informational video was released this fall. The project
supports the Chenango County Economic Development
efforts to attract professionals and businesses to our
region. DCMO BOCES represents a strong employer as
well as educational support to our region. The video, now
published at the City of Norwich website as well as the
Chenango County website, features images of our Career
and Technical Education programs.
Connecting career and technical education
to employers was the focus of the 2015
Business Round-Up Networking events
that gathers almost 100 business owners
and employers at both the Chenango and
the Harrold Campuses. Participants learned
about the drug crisis from county drug
prevention coalition members, and had the
opportunity to learn about DCMO BOCES
programs. CTE Director Lee Shaver shared
with the audience our goal to recruit
business and industry leaders to join the
DCMO BOCES Consultant’s Committee.
“The feedback we obtain from employers has a powerful impact on what we
teach. We need to customize the learning experience to fit the job. The strongest
Career and Technical Education programs in the country have active advisory
groups. It is time to do the same in our region.” For more information or to join
the Consultant Committee contact Lee Shaver at 607-335-1234.
Legislators, School Officials, and Board Members Gather
to Discuss Education
On Saturday, December 5, 2015, DelawareChenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES along
with our Component School Districts,
Superintendents, and Board Members
hosted a Legislative Breakfast at the Silo
Restaurant in Greene, NY. The Breakfast
offered a time of sharing concerns and
solutions with our State Legislators. We
were honored with the presence of two
New York State Senators: Senator James Seward with the 51st District and our State’s new 52nd
District Senator, Senator Fred Akshar along with Assemblyman Gary Finch with the 126th
District. Paula Brown representing Congressman Chris Gibson, and Joe Angelino representing
Assemblyman Clifford Crouch read statements in their absence. We achieved the goal of sharing
information regarding our School Districts and Communities; and to be able to focus on the
successes and the challenges that we are facing during these difficult economic times. We are
sincerely thankful to all that attended and will continue the dialogue with our local legislators
to engage their support to help our students succeed.
Special Education Summer Program Community Effort
Beyond their call of duty, the Special
Education staff at DCMO BOCES
takes the time to have fun and help
others. This summer the Special
Education class collected blankets
to support the Roots and Wings
program that helps families in need.
The donation was presented at the
Chenango County tropical party where staff and students celebrated the conclusion of a great
summer program. Congratulations to the staff and the students who donated warm blankets.
Because of you, other children will find comfort this winter.
Conservation Program Received Forklift Gift from
Raymond Corporation
The Conservation and Equipment Technology
program at DCMO BOCES received an electric
forklift donation valued at $5,250. The gift
is a result of a strong partnership between
business and education that brought together
The Raymond Corporation and Raymond
Leasing of Syracuse. Manager of Business
Partner Operations John Sassani engaged with
the students in 2014 to support the classroom
and introduced many initiatives to better
prepare students to enter the workforce and
to understand the manufacturing job market.
The Raymond Corporation linked efforts with
Kenneth Knapp, Manager of Rental and Used
Equipment at Raymond Leasing Corporation
to channel the gift of the almost new forklift,
charger and battery to the conservation program. The donation impacts the
Conservation and Equipment Technology program twofold. Students will have the
opportunity to work with state of the art technology with a leading brand; but most
importantly, the equipment enables instruction for three different classifications
of forklift certification.
Organizations like NBT Bank and NBT-Mang Insurance have supported many of our
enrichment programs including the Scholars Recognition Banquet. They are joined
by an amazing group of supporters who help us reach our enrichment program goals.

reason for supporting the It’s a Guy
Thing program, he
replied, “My father
was the architect
for the original Schenevus Central School.
Our office over the years has completed a
number of design projects at Schenevus,
and we wanted to give back to the students
and encourage young people to explore
careers in architecture.” The firm was
established by Myron Jordan in 1934 and
serves multiple school districts in the region with Facilities Planning and Design.
Jim Jordan holds degrees from Syracuse
University as well as Alfred University.
He is an active alumni at Alfred University
and shared a success story, “I had the opportunity to introduce a young man to the
ceramic engineering program at Alfred. I
met him and his family at an Eagle Scout
dinner and suggested he enroll in ceramic
engineering at Alfred. After several years,
I learned he is pursuing a career in ceramic
engineering at Alfred University and have
had the chance to reconnect with him and
celebrate his success.”

recognized for mentoring students after her retirement. Torta’s dedication to education
led to a new retirement job; adopting a particular group of students in need of a reading
coach. Torta finds and provides books to these children to encourage reading at their
grade and skill level.
Torta was also instrumental in securing funds to help a local community service
project that sends care packages and letters to servicemen and servicewomen overseas.
According to the nomination statement, the program was in danger of disappearing due
to decreasing funds. To support this effort, Torta wrote a grant application from the
National VFW to keep the program active. Torta connected this community endeavor to
education by coaching students to write pen pal letters to United States servicemen and
servicewomen. She also completed customs forms to ship packages and donated items
for care packs. As a member of the Afton VFW Women’s Auxiliary she volunteers and
supports multiple endeavors.
Chief Operations Officer Gray Stevens commented about the award process, “The
selection committee found alignment between the Marshman-Hall awards ideals of
commitment to what is best for students, orientation to the community and focus on the
continuous improvement of the education enterprise.”

A Message from the
Interim District Superintendent
Welcome to the Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego BOCES budget guide. Students
are our number one priority and serving our component school districts is our primary
focus. Over the past several months we have been working diligently to focus on all
of our programs and services, and are continually looking for ways to provide the best
possible support for our schools at a reasonable cost.
Our goal is to make this BOCES a vital resource to local districts. We provide outstanding
student programs, and notably, additional pathways to graduation. DCMO also strives
to provide the highest quality professional development to our valuable educators.
In addition, every year school budgets become even more challenging and this year
is no exception. With the latest tax levy limits and an unknown state aid picture, our
collaboration with all of you is even more important.
Please know that we value the feedback we receive from all of our districts and business
partners, and we urge you to continue to come to us with your ideas and support in
providing the best for all of your students.
As we partner together, we are here to serve you!
Very truly yours,
Allen D. Buyck
Interim District Superintendent

FISCAL PRINCIPLES GUIDING
THE BOCES BUDGET
A BOCES budget is built on principles based on New York State Education Law,
Section 1950. These principles vary considerably from those governing component
school districts. Our hope is that these principles will help you to interpret more clearly
the budget information which follows.
While the total appropriations of all BOCES services equals a single number, the
BOCES budg et is really comprised of approximately 120 individual budgets.
The following principles govern the establishment of these budgets.
• Each BOCES service must have a discrete budget containing only those expenditures
required to perform that service.
• Each BOCES service must identify the income which is required to support its budget
and specify in what manner and from which sources revenue will be collected. Examples
of types of charges that may be used include: flat charge, tuition, percent of usage,
and resident weighted average daily attendance (RWADA). These monies may be
collected from component districts, state grants, federal grants, cross-contracts with
other BOCES, or a combination of some or all of these.
• Only those districts electing to participate in a service are required to pay for that service.
• Participating school districts determine the method of payment.
• Administrative costs for each service are included in each service budget.
• The Administrative Budget is a continuing obligation of all component districts and is
assessed on the basis of RWADA.
• Special education classrooms and all other building and room rentals are required, by
law, to be part of the Capital Budget.
• Individual budgets may increase or decrease during the year depending on component
districts’ changing requirements and requests.
• BOCES must build a completely new budget each year from new revenues; BOCES
may not maintain a fund balance from year to year. Any surplus in any budget is returned
to the participating school districts in the same manner it was collected.
5
UNIT COST METHODOLOGY
Unit Cost Methodology is used to prorate the cost of each service. It must be approved
on an annual basis by at least three-quarters of the participating component districts
after consultation by local school officials with their respective Boards.
Below is a list of costing methods with their respective definitions and examples of
programs that use that method.

ADMINISTRATIVE BUDGET
The BOCES Administrative Budget contains those expenditures which would generally
be associated with district office costs in a local school district. The budget includes
the BOCES Board of Education expenses as well as the following central office staff:
District Superintendent
Assistant Superintendent - Management Services (80%)
Assistant Superintendent - Instructional Services (43%)
Secretarial Staff (2.2 FTE)
Business Manager
Accounting Staff (6.4 staff)
Switchboard Operator
Human Resource Clerk (50%)
Human Resource Director (50%)
Public and School District Liason (.5 staff)

Where staff are less than full-time in the Administrative Budget, the remainder of their
salaries are charged to the program budgets which they directly supervise; e.g., a portion of the salary for the Assistant Superintendent for Management Services is charged
to the Transportation Budget.
The Board of Education and the central office staff in this budget are responsible for
setting policy and for the overall management of the BOCES organization. Staff in this
budget set goals and priorities for the organization and provide overall management of
the personnel, programmatic, and financial affairs of the BOCES.
The Administrative Budget expenditures are up 2.97%. Charges to districts for the
Administrative Budget are up an average of 3.98%.

two-year Career and Technical Education program that will provide students with the
knowledge and skills necessary for successful careers in the business field.
2016-2017 tuition for CTE programs is charged to districts based on October 1, 2015 enrollment. The 2016-2017 budget has a .72% budget increase over the 2015-16 budget. The CTE
tuition charge will increase 2.74%.
There are two charges that comprise the cost for Career and Technical Education. The first ,
referred to as “program charge,” is based on the number of students attending CTE from a district.
Operations and Maintenance (O&M) charges are based on districts’ percentage of RWADA.
These two charges are added together to determine the total charges for CTE.
The budget includes the salaries of the Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Services,
Director of CTE, the Chenango Campus Building Principal, the Robert W. Harrold Campus
Building Principal, two Assistant Principals, forty-three teachers, nineteen Licensed Teaching
Assistants, four clerical staff, two Work-based Learning Coordinators, two school counselors

ITINERANT SHARED SERVICES
The Itinerant Shared Services program provides, at the request of component districts,

GENERAL EDUCATION
Three direct education programs are provided by this BOCES specifically directed at the
provision of general education services for students who have difficulty in their home
district school programs. The Career Academy is an alternative education program designed to meet the needs of 13 - to 18 -year -olds who are having difficulty in their home
schools. This full day program provides an opportunity to have an integrated academics
program, community involvement and career development. Class sizes are smaller than
regular high school classes to help promote better student/teacher communication. All
high school students are enrolled in a Career and Technical Program as part of their
day to keep them engaged in school and allow them the opportunity to experience the
hands-on learning that promotes the willingness to complete their high school education.
The GED program offers students who are 16 - 21 years old the opportunity to prepare
for the high school equivalency examination. Students participating in the GED program
also enroll in a Career and Technical Education program. Charges for these programs
are based on participation.
Also included in this section is the Regional Academic Summer School held at two sites
around the BOCES area. Opportunities include both enrichment and remedial programs.
ADULT & CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Adult & Continuing Education program provides adults with the opportunity to receive
instruction in vocational and avocational programs during the day, the evening, and/or
on weekends. This program also provides workshops and classes to serve businesses
in our area. All revenues for this program are generated from student tuition or grants
received for the specific purpose of training and educating adult students. There are no
revenues received from school districts.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES
The Management Services Budgets reflect non-instructional cooperative services which
provide safe environments and cost effective services for local districts. Although districts
function very effectively and efficiently, doing things in a cooperative manner will often
allow financial advantages that a single district could not obtain. It is this cooperative
principle that has allowed our districts to establish the following services so that they
are able to obtain enhanced efficiencies and redirect dollars to educational programs.
How We Can Help Save $
Management Services partners with schools to develop solutions to help our districts
address these challenges so that they can concentrate on what matters most—
developing lifelong learners.
We embrace change to ensure savings and efficiencies for our districts and students!
