Dear Colleague:
We are pleased to share with you the 2014-2015 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
Gary D. Bixhorn

ABOUT EASTERN SUFFOLK BOCES
vii
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.

Eastern Suffolk BOCES Educational Services Division, in partnership with all of our stakeholders, is dedicated to meeting the needs of diverse life-long learners. We provide a full spectrum of cost-effective educational and career learning programs and services. These services include those that empower school districts and other educational providers to build capacity for teaching and learning, ensure equitable access to the best education for all students, and achieve excellence. We are committed to high quality programs, research-based decision making, safety and respect for our students and staff, and attention to our continually changing world.
The Educational Services Division is comprised of three departments and the Regional Information Center that provide direct and supportive educational services for school-age and adult learners.
Department of Special Education
The Special Education Department offers a broad spectrum of classes and services that are highly specialized to meet the diverse needs of students with disabilities, as well as non-classified students in need of alternative school settings.
Classes are offered for students ranging in age from 5 to 21 years in Eastern Suffolk BOCES centers, as well as inclusive settings in our component district buildings.
Students enrolled in our district sites are provided with opportunities for inclusion in general education academic classes, special subject classes, and building-wide activities while receiving specialized support services and instruction from Eastern Suffolk BOCES.
All programs are aligned with Common Core Learning Standards and are designed to achieve appropriate educational outcomes for each student we serve. These outcomes include completion of a New York State Regents course of study, as well as academic, behavioral, and social skills development. These skills are developed along the continuum of student needs exhibited within the Eastern Suffolk BOCES area.
All of our programs have received accreditation by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. We continue to work toward improving student outcomes through a focus on transition, research and assessment of best practices, and emerging trends in the field.
Department of Career, Technical and
Adult Education
The Career, Technical and Adult Education Department offers a broad array of secondary programs designed to meet the needs of our component school districts’ school-age and adult students. Our focus is to improve student outcomes for secondary career, technical, and adult learners by meeting or exceeding New York State Education Department standards. Our efforts reflect our ongoing commitment to deliver quality programs that transform lives of secondary and adult learners.
We offer approximately 60 career education courses for secondary and adult students at the Edward J. Milliken Technical Center in Oakdale, the Brookhaven Technical Center in Bellport, the Suffolk Aviation Academy in Shirley, and the Harry B. Ward Career and Technical Center in Riverhead. Local colleges offer articulation agreements to students in many areas of study, and high school students may earn college credits for advanced standing at selected post-secondary institutions.
Career and Technical programs provide quality, state-of-the-art courses, which are New York State certified, assuring that a student will receive a Regents diploma with a technical endorsement. Graduates are prepared to continue on to post-secondary programs and are better prepared to become gainfully employed upon completion of the programs.
Department of Education and Information
Support Services
The Education and Information Support Services Department provides local school districts with a range of educational support services, including leadership training, professional development, curriculum-writing projects, and instructional technology staff and programs. Research-based and targeted to local needs, these services are available to teachers, administrators, support staff, communities, parents, and students. Boards of Education initiatives include, but are not limited to, responding to the Common Core Standards and State Assessments, instructional strategies to enhance learning, curriculum development and alignment, early literacy, meeting the needs of diverse learners, instructional technology, distance learning, educational leadership, the arts, library media, shared decision making, and strategic planning. Workshops and seminars provide opportunities for participating districts to learn from the foremost experts in the field, with on-site or in-class experience, providing the link between theory and practice.
Student Data Services provides support and training for a variety of student information systems, as well as special education software, test scoring, data warehouse, and student data analysis.
Regional Information Center
The Suffolk Regional Information Center (RIC) provides a wide variety of technology tools and solutions to school districts across the region. These high-quality programs and services are designed to support school districts and internal BOCES instructional and district facing administrative programs in the most cost effective and efficient manner possible, while also supporting the needs of all participants to the fullest. The RIC continues to be a regional leader in technology by offering administrative and instructional hardware and software options, Internet/Internet2, network infrastructure and management, SaaS (Software as a service) hosted and managed solutions, technology acquisitions, and other support and service offerings.

Autism consultants will address applied behavior analysis strategies, behavioral strategies, and educational strategies.
Parent Training provides a bridge between home and school programs and can assist parents in utilizing strategies in the home that are consistent with those used in school to facilitate student progress.
Home ABA Services are designed to meet the needs of component districts for students with autism spectrum disorders to provide for continuity and generalization across environments.
