Overview

Mission

The monroe #1 board of cooperative educational services (boces), in partnership with our component school districts, exists to educate and provide services which support education for individuals, children through adults, in the boces community in order to provide them the opportunity to reach their fullest potential. Boces will do this in a caring and cost effective manner.

What it reported doing in 2024

The science, technology, engineering and math (stem) pilot program is intended to provide a broader toolset to the teachers of school 23 as they bring an enhanced science curriculum to their students. The program is intended to be school-directed and will be made available to all k-6 classes school wide.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 93% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 80% for direct work, and 20% for grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
