Dear Colleague:
This issue of the Services Guide and Directory of the Ulster County Board of Cooperative Educational Services details descriptions of programs and services that are designed to assist our component school districts in meeting their increasingly varied needs. As schools continue to face economic challenges, the need for our services and the efficiency that they provide is more evident than ever. With an emphasis on effectiveness and efficiency, our services provide quality programs that aid component districts with the challenges of implementing Federal, State, and local initiatives, while meeting the more demanding graduation and school accountability requirements.
All of the programs and services offered in our Services Guide and Directory are cooperatively developed with school district personnel. Ulster BOCES continues our mission of being the agency of choice to build regional shared capacity for both present and anticipated needs. Upon request, the District Superintendent and Ulster BOCES staff members are available to provide more detailed information about any of the services found within this guide or to consult on potential new initiatives.
As in the past, this year’s Services Guide and Directory is aligned with other agency publications and resources, including the Service Request Forms and Budget Guides. We hope this effort will continue to make the Ulster BOCES Services Guide and Directory a user-friendly and useful resource for the districts we serve. We welcome the opportunity to serve your district’s staff and students and encourage your active involvement in the development of mutually beneficial quality, cost-effective, cooperative services.
Sincerely,
Charles V. Khoury, Ed.D.
District Superintendent
