The Level 2 Repository only accepts records with valid BEDS codes. On records for students served in BOCES programs, the BEDS code on the School of Location record must be the general BOCES code, four digits followed by eight zeros. A list of valid BEDS codes for public schools, charter schools, BOCES, nonpublic schools, and approved private placements is available below.  Make sure that the BEDS code you have entered for each student is on this list. If you have a student in an out-of district placement that is not listed, please contact Robert Waxman in the Office of Vocational Services to Individuals with Disabilities at (518) 474-2714 or RWAXMAN@MAIL.NYSED.GOV.  If you have a question, about a BEDS code for other than an out-of-district placement, please contact Cheryl Mitchell in Information and Reporting Services at (518) 474-7965 or CMITCHEL@MAIL.NYSED.GOV.
