BOCES services are created when two or more school districts decide they have similar needs that can be met by a shared program. BOCES helps school districts by providing opportunities to pool resources and share costs. This economical approach allows districts to provide students with high-quality programs and services schools might not otherwise be able to afford.

Another cornerstone of the BOCES operations is flexibility. Madison-Oneida BOCES is simply a reflection of the current needs of the districts it serves. Programs and services are designed in collaboration with participants, and the lifespan of a BOCES service is only as long as its participating districts’ needs.

Madison-Oneida BOCES serves nine component school districts including:
Camden
Canastota
Hamilton
Madison
Morrisville-Eaton

Rome
Stockbridge Valley
