BOCES Strategic Plan
Priorities
Each year, the strategic
goals of Capital Region BOCES remain constant and our
priorities change according to our progress the previous
year. Listed below

the
three
strategic

priorities
established
by
the BOCES
administrative
staff
and
directors.
Each
priority

addressed
by
a
