Alternative Education
BOCES
operates full-day and/or half-day programs for general-education students who have
been identified as having special needs not being met in school district
programs. Programs may include
academics, vocational skills, work-study, specialized activities or a
combination of these. The BOCES Report
Card includes alternative education program enrollment and outcome data for
students in grades 5 through 8, as well as students in programs leading to high
school diplomas or high school equivalency diplomas. Data
Source: BOCES Survey


Alternative
Education Outcomes *
*Data from SED believed to be inaccurate
due to technology problems
The objective of the alternative education program is to retain students until they graduate or return to a regular school setting. Students counted as leaving programs may have done so for a variety of reasons including relocation, medical problems, childcare, incarceration or entering other education programs.

Adult Basic Education
Based
on data reported for the National Reporting System (NRS) for adult education
programs, enrollment in adult basic education programs for 2005-2006 was 1,482.
Educational Gain
Under
the NRS, educational gain is the primary goal for students in adult
beginning/intermediate programs, adult secondary (low) programs, and in English
for speakers of other languages programs.
Students are counted as achieving educational gain if they exceed
established reference points in their standardized test scores between
enrollment and re-testing.

Special
Education Enrollment and Tuition
When
placing students, districts select among classrooms with different
student/staff ratios consistent with each students Individualized Education
Program (IEP). The following are four of
the alternatives:
12 students per teacher plus two paraprofessionals
(12:1:2) 12 students per
teacher plus one paraprofessional (12:1:1)
9 students per teacher plus three paraprofessionals
(9:1:3) 9 students per
teacher plus two paraprofessionals (9:1:2)
8 students per teacher plus three paraprofessionals
(8:1:3) 8 students per
teacher plus two paraprofessionals (8:1:2)
8 students per teacher plus one paraprofessional
(8:1:1) 6 students
per teacher plus two paraprofessionals (6:1:2)
4 students per teacher plus 2 paraprofessionals
(4:1:2)
An
addendum of enrollment and tuition information will be attached to this report
if this BOCES provides other options of student/staff ratios.
Tuition
rates exclude the costs of related services, preschool and summer school
programs. BOCES with multiple tuition
rates for a program have calculated an average rate. Data

School Library Systems are state-aided programs set forth in Education Law and regulations of the Commissioner of Education. Each BOCES acts as the educational agency that sponsors the program to provide vital library and information resources to public and nonpublic schools. Each system operates under an approved long range plan of service. Some of the key functions of SLS are: to provide leadership and training through professional development activities; enrich the NYS Learning Standards by providing information literacy awareness and skills; facilitate resource-sharing among its member school libraries; promote advances in technology for information storage and retrieval; focus on cooperative collection development of member school library materials; address the information needs of special client groups; and participate in regional library issues with the public, academic, special and other school libraries. Students, teachers and administrators in each BOCES service area benefit from the programs and services of the school library system. Data Source: SLS Annual Report
