  • 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?
