Services Guide

On behalf of the St. Lawrence-Lewis Board of Cooperative Educational Services, I am pleased to present the 2023-2024 SLL Service Guide. This guide outlines the quality, cost-effective services and programs we offer our component school districts.

While the pandemic is behind us, we continue to adapt to the impact on our students, staff and workforce. Being able to hire a full staff and guaranteeing that we have rigorous secondary programming across the region are huge challenges. To assist with this, the renovations to our CTE centers are complete and we continue to pack the CTE programs with students. Many programs are wait-listed. We look forward to offering three new electrical programs at each CTE site for the 2023-24 school year, while working with our school district partners to continue offering the CREATE program at district sites. Our special education services continue to host district students across the region with the most challenging needs. Finally, we continue to offer a full slate of professional learning opportunities and instructional support, as well as non-instructional, IT and operational services that allow districts to focus on their core mission.

Looking to the future, we play an important role in reshaping and rebuilding our post-pandemic educational systems. For at least the next school year, due to the remaining infusion of federal COVID relief funding and the final implementation of state Foundation Aid, state budgets look stable. Regional goal-setting, decision-making and program implementation has been ongoing. We hope to ensure that these historic investments in our educational system bring the desired results and are sustainable long after the federal funds have been expended.

I am confident that you will be pleased with our efforts to provide quality programs and services. Our objective has always been to help increase student performance and enhance opportunities for all students in the component districts we serve.

In addition to this printed version, this guide is available on our website. The online version can be accessed at www.sllboces.org.

 

We will meet whatever new challenges come next, through continued partnership, and look forward to another school year.

 

Sincerely,

 

Thomas R. Burns
