Collaborations

The “C” in BOCES is for cooperative, but it could also easily stand for “community” or “collaboration.” It is because of key community partnerships that we are able to provide quality support systems to our students. Our partners include the Family Resource Center, located on the Nyack campus, the Mental Health Association of Rockland, Mental Health Association of Westchester and innumerable other county agencies and organizations.
