CAYUGA-ONONDAGA BOCES

Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES (Board of Cooperative Educational Services) serves as a regional educational collaborative based in Auburn, New York, designed to provide shared services and support to school districts across Cayuga and Onondaga counties. By pooling resources, the organization offers cost-effective programs that individual districts might struggle to provide alone. Their extensive catalog of services includes specialized career and technical education (CTE) programs, support for students with special needs, instructional technology, and professional development for educators and administrators.

At its core, Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES acts as a bridge between K-12 education and future success, focusing heavily on workforce readiness and academic enrichment. Through their Career and Technical Education center, students are provided with hands-on training in high-demand fields such as skilled trades, healthcare, and digital media, helping them transition into higher education or directly into the workforce. By fostering partnerships between local schools, businesses, and the community, the organization plays a vital role in elevating regional educational standards and ensuring that all students have equitable access to diverse learning opportunities.
