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.

Belmont, NY – May 11, 2023 – CA BOCES Animal Science instructor from the CTE Center at Belmont, Cassandra Ploetz, was recently named both regional and state SkillsUSA Advisor of the Year.

The Skills USA program features competitive events showcasing the best career and technical education students in the nation. Contests begin locally and continue through the state and national levels. Key areas of competition include communication, construction, heavy equipment operation, welding, animal sciences, health sciences, hospitality and tourism, human services, information technology, leadership, manufacturing, and STEM. Competing students are led locally by staff advisors who help students understand the framework of the events and prepare for competition.

Ploetz has been teaching Animal Science at the CTE Center at Belmont for seven years and has been the Skills USA Advisor for the past five years. Of the SkillsUSA program, she said: “There are a lot of great things about being the Skills USA Advisor…but the real magic and greatest impact comes in seeing students who have a talent, guiding them to competition category that best suits them as individuals, and then watching them bloom. They may not always be a medal winner, but they grow and mature into better citizens. SkillsUSA offers this group of up-and-coming students a place to feel and be successful and celebrated.”

She also noted the many benefits of the SkillsUSA program for students. “Students benefit from Skills USA in so many ways and each is different from one student to the next,” she said. “I get phone calls and text messages from teachers and parents saying,” I cannot believe my student actually did that” or “This has been a huge and transforming experience for my student”. For many, getting out of their comfort zone is an enormous piece. Other students find out from competing with other students regionally and state-wide that they need to keep pushing their skills to the next level. The benefits of Skills USA are truly endless.”

Jim Schifley, CA BOCES Assistant Superintendent for Career and Technical Education, said that he is proud of the recent recognition. “Our staff at all centers put in many hours and provide lots of support to our CTE students as they prepare for the Skills USA competitions,” he said. “It is a true honor for Cassandra to be recognized in this capacity.”
