The Board of Education is currently reviewing all Capital Region BOCES policies (including those below). BOCES has contracted with the New York State School Board Association as part of that work; the NYSSBA policies are reviewed and marked for relevance by BOCES administrators and the BOCES attorney, then provided to the Board of Education Policy Advisory Committee for discussion.
When consensus is reached, the committee recommends the policy to the full Board of Education for tentative adoption at a scheduled Board of Education meeting. If accepted, the policy is returned (for a second reading) to the Board of Education as a resolution, subject to further discussion and possible return to committee or adoption.
For the most up to date list of adopted policies, please click here.
For policy questions, please contact Assistant District Superintendent for Management Services Mark Jones at 518-862-4920.
