The Capital Region BOCES publishes and prints an annual report each year to share with our component districts, BOCES colleagues, business partners, and others the work we’ve done in collaboration.
The 2025-26 Annual Report highlights our growth throughout the year, including new and expanded services to meet the needs of our stakeholders, inspiring student achievements, and strengthened partnerships to ensure career experiences were available for students while others provided new personal and professional growth opportunities.
A Message from the District Superintendent and Senior Executive Officer
Our commitment to leadership runs deep. As a trusted thought partner to our component schools, we embrace the responsibility of assisting education leaders in addressing evolving priorities and new initiatives.
Through our expertise, services and support, we equip students, educators and communities to move forward with confidence and purpose. This commitment is reflected in our continued investment in innovation and opportunity. As the demand for skills-based learning grows, we are creating new pathways that connect education to workforce needs. These learning opportunities prepare the next generation for success while supporting districts as they implement New York State’s Portrait of a Graduate. By leading forward, we remain grounded in our mission while adapting to an ever-changing world.
In doing so, we recognize that progress is never the work of one person, one program, one division or one district. The collective efforts of our component districts, partners, staff and stakeholders allow us to leverage shared resources and perspectives to solve challenges, expand opportunities and strengthen our region. We accomplish far more together than any one organization could achieve alone.
This report showcases leadership in action and the power of collaboration, highlighting not only the achievements of the past year, but the relationships, vision and shared commitment that continue to drive success. Together, we are preparing learners for the future, supporting our partners and strengthening our region. Together, we are leading forward.
