Ellicottville, NY—The CA BOCES CTE Center at Ellicottville is proud to announce a new partnership with Connecting Communities in Action (CCA) to launch a Weekend Backpack Program aimed at supporting students in the region who face food insecurity. Through this initiative, students in need will receive backpacks filled with nutritious, easy-to-prepare food items to take home each weekend. The goal is to ensure that every student has access to healthy meals outside of the school week.

The program, in its pilot, will reach students in four school districts over a 40-weekend time span.

CA BOCES Senior Administrator for CTE, Amanda Miller said that CA BOCES is pleased to be a bridge between CCA and local schools. “This partnership strengthens our ability to support students’ overall wellness,” she said. “We are grateful for organizations like CCA who are providing programming that assists the community in such profound ways.”

The program will begin with a “soft launch” during the month of December, allowing school personnel to discreetly share information and paperwork with students and families who may benefit from the program.

Jacob Fellows, Director of Nutrition Services for CCA said he is proud of the partnership and how it will benefit regional students. “CCA’s partnership with CA BOCES for the Weekend Backpack Program is a win for our whole community—together we’re making sure students have nutritious food all weekend long, so they can come back to school ready to learn, grow, and thrive.”

Community members who wish to support the Weekend Backpack Program can make donations directly to help sustain and expand this effort. Contributions of non-perishable food items or financial support are greatly appreciated.

To donate or learn more, please contact CCA Nutrition Services at 716-339-2436.

At about 1:15 p.m. today, a smoke event at the CTE Center in Olean led to a brief evacuation. The issue was contained quickly, and students and staff were outside for roughly 15 minutes while the building was cleared.

Everyone re-entered safely once the source was resolved and the air cleared. We appreciate the calm, cooperation, and quick action of our students, staff, and emergency responders.

At no time were students or staff in danger.

Olean, NY –The Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs at Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES (CA BOCES) are setting the standard for excellence across New York State. According to the 2023–2024 NYSED CTE survey, CA BOCES leads all BOCES regions with 52% of eligible 11th and 12th grade students enrolled in CTE programs—demonstrating the region’s strong commitment to career readiness through technical education.

CABOCES offers 17 state-approved programs, many of which boast completion rates above 90%, including Welding & Metal Fabrication, Culinary Arts, and Natural Resources.

“Our programs are designed to meet the changing needs of students and the workforce,” said Christopher Gagliardo, CA BOCES Assistant Superintendent for Career and Technical Education Services. “These outcomes reflect the dedication of our instructors, the strength of our relationship with our component districts and community business partners, and the incredible commitment of our students. We’re proud to offer pathways that lead to this type of real-world success”

“Our mission is to empower students with the skills, confidence, and opportunities they need to thrive,” said Scott Payne, District Superintendent and CEO. “These results are a testament to the collaborative spirit of our region and the impact of CTE on student lives and futures. We applaud the work done by all of our component school districts to promote multiple pathways for success for students.”

Additionally, according to CTEDS reporting, 81% of CABOCES CTE graduates from the Class of 2023–2024 are enrolled in post-secondary education, employed, or serving in the military—underscoring the program’s effectiveness in preparing students for life beyond high school.

To All Parents and Guardians:

The safety of our students and school staff is very important to us. One of the ways we stay safe is by holding school safety drills. To help us practice and learn, we will conduct multiple safety drills between 10/16/2025 and 10/23/2025

Before we practice a drill, we instruct students and staff on what they need to do. We talk about how the drill will be announced and we always inform students and staff that it is a drill.

After the drill, students and families are encouraged to ask questions. If you have any questions about the drills or other safety concerns, please contact me at 716-376-8326.
