5 Dean T. Lucera District Superintendent Gary D. Bixhorn Chief Operating Officer Dear Colleague: We are pleased to share with you the Shared Services Guide, which describes the programs and services offered through Eastern Suffolk BOCES. As you will note, Eastern Suffolk BOCES provides a vast array of programs and services to component school districts, as well as to the region s school-age and adult students. Our programs and services reflect our commitment to excellence, innovation, collaboration, and responsiveness to district needs. These shared programs and services enhance efficiency and assure access across the region. The Shared Services Guide includes the names and telephone numbers of the Eastern Suffolk BOCES staff members responsible for each program or service. The guide also identifies the timeline for arranging participation in shared services for next year. Please use this guide as a resource as you plan and budget for the school year. We want to take this opportunity to thank you for helping us think more creatively about the ways in which we can develop collaborative programs, save money, produce additional resources for school districts, and, most importantly, to provide services and programs that will help improve the performance of all students. As a result of your involvement, we have changed the way in which we approach designing services. The most dramatic example of this is the recent establishment of the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology to provide Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs. This new division of Eastern Suffolk BOCES will continue to offer the traditional CTE programming that you expect from the agency, as well as several new, innovative options. These options will include district-based classes, a STEM school, and additional, more rigorous center-based programs. Please feel free to contact the person associated with the program or service in which you are interested. In addition, you can always call either one of us or Colleen Lipponer, Manager of Administrative Services. Thank you. Sincerely, Dean T. Lucera District Superintendent Gary D. Bixhorn Chief Operating Officer

11 Eastern Suffolk Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) was created to support and supplement local school districts. Regional Eastern Suffolk BOCES offers services that a single district could not provide as efficiently and economically on its own. Local school districts pay only for the services that they elect to purchase, as well as a proportionate share of the Administrative Budget. Eastern Suffolk BOCES, created from the merger of the former First and Second Supervisory Districts of Suffolk County, is one of the largest BOCES in the State. Serving 51 school districts across an area nearly 1,000 square miles, Eastern Suffolk BOCES enrolls over 3,500 school-age students, over 5,900 adult education students, and offers the most innovative and diverse array of BOCES programs in New York State. Our Mission Eastern Suffolk BOCES, an educational cooperative of 51 Long Island school districts, provides educational leadership, direct instruction, management, and support through quality, cost-effective instructional programs and shared services. These programs and services maximize educational and career opportunities for Long Island s diverse community of lifelong learners, both children and adults, and enhance the operational effectiveness of its schools. Middle States Accreditation Eastern Suffolk BOCES became the first intermediate educational agency to be accredited and also re-accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. The accreditation represents our organization s commitment to Strategic Planning and providing services that meet rigorous external standards. We are proud of this accomplishment and are willing to help other organizations grow and improve through this accreditation process. Please feel free to contact Eastern Suffolk BOCES for further information. ABOUT EASTERN SUFFOLK BOCES vii
