The Capital Region BOCES Communications Service was the first service of its kind in New York State, and today it's the largest, serving more than 50 school districts and four BOCES around the state. Our staff of 49 professionals work as a team to provide school districts and BOCES with a level of communications expertise they could never secure on their own. Our goal is to help districts be the first and best source of information about what is happening in districts, from classrooms to board rooms.
