The administrative leadership of Ulster BOCES functions similar to the Central Office of a local school district. In addition to the responsibilities performed by the District Superintendent’s Office, the Administration provides many internal support services as part of its day-to-day operations. These include payroll, accounting, bidding, purchasing, budgeting, planning, community relations, grant writing, and recruiting of qualified administrators, teachers, and non-instructional staff. Administration provides local school district administrators with support and high-level leadership on statewide and national issues and mandates. The services of the Ulster BOCES Administration benefit each school district in Ulster County.
