Children are placed in BOCES special education programs at the direction of their local school districts Committee on Special Education (CSE). CSE teams, including the district CSE chairperson, classroom teacher, parents and service providers collaborate to develop an Individual Education Plan (IEP) for any student identified as requiring special education services. Contact your local school district’s CSE chairperson for more information.
