    Approximately 1000 students and 65 employers, college, and military representatives participated in the 20th Annual “Gateways to Careers” program on March 27, 2013. Gateways to Careers is a career pathways workshop that has given thousands of students an opportunity to learn critical job seeking skills, receive honest feedback, and learn about the opportunities that are available after high school. “This is not a job fair,” noted Supervisor of Instruction for St. Lawrence- Lewis BOCES Career and Technical Education Rachelle Romoda, “this is a workshop for life readiness skills, whether students are looking to prepare for college interviews, internships, or employment right out of high school, they get a chance to hear honest feedback about what types of soft skills are needed to succeed in any choice they make.”

  • WHAT IS BOCES SURPLUS?

    WHAT IS BOCES SURPLUS?

    Lately, our BOCES has been responding to questions about BOCES Surplus. We thought the following points may be helpful for our community members to know. BOCES Surplus is money that was not spent during the year. As such, it is returned to the component school districts. BOCES Surplus is a mandated accounting process that protects school districts and taxpayers because excess funds are always returned. Could you imagine if your village/town/county returned some of your taxes at the end of each year?
