DELAWARE-CHENANGO-MADISON-OTSEGO BOCES

The Delaware-Chenango-Madison-Otsego (DCMO) BOCES is a regional educational service agency located in Norwich, New York, that serves as a collaborative resource for 16 constituent school districts across its four-county area. Rather than functioning as a traditional K-12 school, DCMO BOCES provides shared educational services, specialized instruction, and administrative support to help its member districts offer a broader range of opportunities than they could sustain individually. Their primary mission is to provide high-quality, cost-effective programs that meet the evolving academic and vocational needs of students and adult learners alike.

The organization is best known for its robust Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs, which provide high school students with hands-on training in skilled trades, technology, healthcare, and professional services. Beyond vocational training, DCMO BOCES offers extensive support for special education, alternative learning programs, and professional development for educators. By facilitating these regional cooperatives, the agency plays a vital role in connecting students to career pathways and helping local districts manage the logistical and financial complexities of modern public education.
