BOCES shared service budgets include costs for personnel and mileage reimbursement. There is a limited budget for equipment and supplies when they are shared between participating schools.
Itinerant services and academic center-based programs are possible whenever two or more districts wish to participate in that program. 

Generally, anytime a school district’s anticipated need is for a .60 FTE or less in any instructional support service category, consideration should be given to securing that position through BOCES.
