Local schools and learners are entitled to high quality services at a responsible cost, delivered on time as promised.

Local schools and learners are to be encouraged to evaluate, comment upon, and commend BOCES services. Such feedback will be used to improve and enhance services and will be accepted constructively.

Local school personnel and learners are entitled to frequent visits and consultations with BOCES staff members at local schools, classroom sites, or BOCES to encourage the review, enhancement, and development of BOCES services.

BOCES staff members are entitled to equitable pay, pleasant and safe working conditions, and ongoing training.

BOCES staff members are entitled to frequent written feedback about their performance based upon a predetermined set of standards.

All BOCES staff members are managers in their own right. As such, they are expected to continually experiment with improved practices and procedures in the delivery of services.

Local school representatives, learners, advisory committees, and representatives of other BOCES are to be constantly surveyed about the quality, cost, and development of BOCES services.
