Regional BOCES presents services and incentives to the board
Summary
A CVS/BOCES representative provided the board with program materials and described services including a 36% reimbursement rate, a $110 million-plus consortium, and career-technical programs that include Volcan Valley students.
A CVS/BOCES representative addressed the board with a packet of information about the regional services available to member districts. "So when you do invest in CVS services, you get 36¢ back on the dollar," the presenter said, describing the district's BOCES reimbursement ratio and ongoing advocacy to make aid formulas more equitable.
The presenter described the region's administrative services, a health and workers' compensation consortium that the speaker said is now "over a $110,000,000" in size and covers approximately 4,500 policies and 10,000 lives. He also outlined career and technical education (CTE) participation, noting 25 Volcan Valley students were enrolled in CTE offerings and that enrollment at the Mindville campus has roughly doubled over the last decade. New program offerings (including a welfare program and expanded CTE options) were previewed for the coming year.
Board members were provided handouts that included a special-education overview, CVTech information, school-support services, and management-services summaries. The presenter emphasized cross-contract availability for services not directly offered by CVS/BOCES and encouraged board members to attend regional meetings on regionalization issues.
