The Office of District Superintendents is responsible for ensuring that the 38 BOCES District Superintendents have the necessary information, assistance and support to: (1) function effectively as the Commissioner’s representative in the field; and (2) effect changes in school districts, school buildings, and ultimately, classrooms in their supervisory regions that result in improved student performance. Because the Office of District Superintendents works directly with the District Superintendents, who are also Department staff, it plays a very unique role in the policy development and implementation process.
The Office of District Superintendents:
- Facilitates communication between the Department and the 38 BOCES District Superintendents throughout the State;
- In collaboration with Elementary, Middle, Secondary and Continuation Education Senior Managers, analyzes and develops broad policy issues and provides policy clarification/interpretation to District Superintendents;
- Provides oversight and coordinates the work of the District Superintendents as the Commissioner’s representatives;
- Advises the Deputy Commissioner regarding policies affecting the District Superintendents/BOCES in relation to Regents and Department priorities;
- Manages BOCES legislative proposal(s); and,
- Arranges the monthly meetings of the District Superintendents.
