Nassau BOCES Established in 1967, the Board of Cooperative Educational Services of Nassau County (Nassau BOCES) is a public agency that serves the 300 schools and 225,000 students of the 56 local school districts of Nassau County. Nassau BOCES creates, develops and implements programs and services that might otherwise be too costly for individual school districts. As a result, county residents enjoy all the benefits of locally controlled schools while reaping the financial savings of a large cooperative. Nassau BOCES offers more than 130 cost-effective, shared programs and services, including special education, career training for high-school students and adults, alternative schools, technology education, and teacher training, as well as dozens of programs to expand educational opportunities and help districts operate more efficiently.
