West Irondequoit seeks representative to BOCES board

The West Irondequoit Board of Education is seeking a qualified candidate to fill a position on the Board of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) School Board.  BOCES is a public educational collaborative that exists to provide programs and services to its member districts, providing high quality service in a cost effective manner.  Monroe #1 BOCES provides services for 10 districts on the east side of Monroe County. 

 

The BOCES Board of Education is made up of representatives from each of its member districts.  It functions as a school board; setting policy, overseeing financial matters and hiring the BOCES superintendent.  They meet twice a month and the term of service is three years. 

 

David Brookins, who has represented West Irondequoit Schools, has resigned his position due to his family’s recent move out of the district.  The West Irondequoit Board of Education expects to appoint his replacement at the August 10 meeting.    

 

Anyone interested in learning more about the position should contact West Irondequoit District Clerk Mary Kay Herman at 336-2983 by July 21.  Potential representatives will be invited to an information sharing session in late July or early August.
