Olean, NY – February 16, 2024 – At a special board meeting on Thursday, February 15, the CA BOCES Board of Education established the position of Deputy Superintendent and appointed Tim Cox, who has been the Assistant Superintendent for Instructional Support Services (ISS) since 2015, to the new position.

The creation of the Deputy Superintendent’s position came about after an in-depth review of regional schools’ and communities’ current and emerging needs, and BOCES growing role in supporting those schools and communities.

CA BOCES District Superintendent, Scott Payne, said that Cox’s vast experiences solidified the choice in his appointment. “After consulting with representative component school superintendents, and working with the Board, it became apparent that Tim’s experience in the broad scope of instructional support and facilitating initiatives, his expertise in teaching and learning, and his organizational commitment have prepared him to be our Deputy Superintendent.”

Cox holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and Psychology from Houghton College, a Master’s degree in Reading and Literacy from Alfred University, and a Certificate of Advanced Study in Educational Leadership from SUNY Brockport. Cox has been employed with CA BOCES for 24 years and has served as the Director of ISS, a Program Manager for Schools Attuned, a Professional Developer, and a Curriculum Coordinator/Staff Specialist. Before joining CA BOCES, he taught in one of our component schools. Throughout this time, he has represented us at the local, regional, and State level and has acted as a National Schools Attuned facilitator for “All Kinds of Minds.” Cox currently serves on the New York State Education Department’s Graduation Measures Blue Ribbon Commission.

As the regional leader in education services, CA BOCES offers state-of-the-art programs for learners of all ages and abilities as well as cost-effective shared services for 22 component school districts. CA BOCES empowers students to achieve their maximum potential by offering a wide variety of innovative programs and support that include special education, career and technical education, adult and continuing

Olean, NY – January 11, 2024 – Cattaraugus-Allegany BOCES recently received approval that allows their previously part-time Licensed Practical Nursing (LPN) program to be completed in one year of full-time study.

The one-year LPN pilot program is now being offered at the CA BOCES CTE Center at Olean and will be offered at the CTE Center at Belmont in the fall of 2024.

CA BOCES Principal of Workforce Development and Community Learning, Matt Fanton, said that the new program designation will create better outcomes for students and for the community. “With the new, more efficient program layout, we will have trained professionals heading out into hospitals and medical offices sooner,” he said. “This is beneficial for students and for the regional workforce.”

CA BOCES Practical Nursing Program Director, Jody Joseph, said that she is pleased with the recent program update and is focused on maintaining high-quality curriculum. “We work closely with regional nursing coordinators to make sure we are continually preparing our students for any changes in the medical field,” she said. “This new program format allows students to still gain all of those necessary skills for the field, but with the capability to be in the workforce sooner.”

Fanton added that even more program expansions are a goal for the future. “The demand from students and the local medical community is there,” he said. “As we complete our pilot offerings and expand to our other centers, we are hoping to find larger facilities in the community specific to our program so we can serve even more students.”

Olean, NY – May 16, 2023 – CA BOCES is among the 37 BOCES statewide that were recently recognized with a state Senate resolution and Executive Chamber citation marking the 75th anniversary of the BOCES system.

“New York State greatly benefits from and owes much of its success to its many prominent educational institutions, and as such, welcomes the opportunity to acknowledge the Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) as they celebrate their 75th anniversary,” the governor’s citation reads in part. (Full text here: https://www.boces.org/about-boces/boces-a-history/executive-chamber-citation/) 

The BOCES system has its origins in Section 1950 of state Education Law, which authorized the creation of boards of cooperative educational services. What began with just a few local supply teacher programs has grown into a statewide network serving nearly all of the state’s more than 700 school districts. 

Together, the 37 BOCES educate tens of thousands of students each year, including nearly 42,000 career and technical education students, more than 16,000 special education students, and more than 16,000 adult learners. Locally, CA BOCES serves 22 school districts and approximately 17,000 students in our region that spans 2,159 square miles.

CA BOCES District Superintendent, Scott Payne, said that he is proud of the work being done by BOCES’ throughout New York and in the Cattaraugus-Allegany region. “Our team – no matter the role they play – is focused on providing the services and experiences that best serve the students in our region. I have no doubt that that commitment will continue for many more years to come.”

As the regional leader in education services, CA BOCES offers state-of-the-art programs for learners of all ages and abilities as well as cost-effective shared services for 22 component school districts. CA BOCES empowers students to achieve their maximum potential by offering a wide variety of innovative programs and support that include special education, career and technical education, adult and continuing education, technology support, and instructional support services.
