Qualifications for Serving as a BOCES Board Member

A BOCES board candidate must reside within the boundaries of a component school district.

A candidate need not be a member of a component district school board. However, no employee

of a component district is eligible to be elected to a BOCES board membership, and a BOCES

board member cannot accept employment in a component district. On the other hand, a BOCES

employee may serve on a component school board.

Process for Adopting the BOCES Administrative Budget

The BOCES Board President designates a day, between April 16 and April 30, for component

districts to vote on the BOCES administrative budget and elect BOCES Board Members. Ten

days prior to the BOCES annual meeting, which is held on a date between April 1 and April 15,

a tentative administrative budget is provided to the component districts. On the day between

April 16 and April 30 previously designated by the BOCES Board President, the component

districts hold a public meeting, either a regular or special meeting, to adopt a resolution either to

approve or disapprove the BOCES tentative administrative budget. This resolution approving or

disapproving the administrative budget must be transmitted to the BOCES no later than one

business day following the vote.

Process for Electing BOCES Board Members

BOCES Board Members are elected by their component member boards. By February 1 of each

year, the BOCES Board President must set the date of election in each component district. It is

the same day designated for the vote on the tentative administrative budget, between April 16

and 30. All component school boards meet on that same date, except for central high school

boards, which must hold their meetings the next business day.

The BOCES clerk then must mail an election ballot to each component district at least 14 days

prior to the election. On the date designated for the election, each component board is entitled to

cast one vote per vacancy, but no more than one vote per candidate. BOCES Board Members

are elected by resolution of the component boards on the ballot prepared by the BOCES clerk.

Each component district must mail or deliver its completed ballot to the BOCES clerk no later

than one business day after the election.
