Cayuga Onondaga BOCES - Practical Nursing Program

What Cayuga Onondaga BOCES - Practical Nursing Program does

Cayuga-Onondaga BOCES is a New York State Board of Cooperative Educational Services established in 1954 and headquartered in Auburn, NY. It operates as a public education entity under New York State Education Law, governed by a Board of Education with representation from its nine component school districts: Auburn, Cato-Meridian, Jordan-Elbridge, Moravia, Port Byron, Southern Cayuga, Skaneateles, Union Springs, and Weedsport. The organization delivers shared educational and administrative services across Cayuga and Onondaga counties, including Career & Technical Education, Adult Education (Practical Nursing, Nurse Aide, Commercial Driving, ESL, Literacy/GED, ed2go online programs), Special Education, Day Care Services, and a self-insured Area School Employees' Healthcare Plan covering approximately 5,000 lives.

The Practical Nursing Program is one of several healthcare-occupation credentials within Adult Education, combining classroom instruction and clinical experience to prepare students for the New York State Department of Health LPN certification examination. Adjacent programs include the Nurse Aide program ($1,700 tuition), the CDL Theory ($220) and Behind-the-Wheel ($3,950) programs, and online professional credentials delivered through the ed2go partnership. The underlying technology stack is built around third-party educational and administrative platforms rather than proprietary IP: Agilix Buzz LMS for online instruction, Edgenuity for video tutorials, SchoolTool for the student information system, WincapWeb for payroll and finance, Frontline for absence/substitute management, ClassLink for single sign-on, DocuWare for document management, Panopto for video, and IP videoconferencing for synchronous distance learning across the nine districts.

Revenue mechanics are split across (i) cooperative-services billing to the nine component districts, (ii) state and federal aid for BOCES-administered programs, (iii) adult-learner tuition for credentialing programs (Nurse Aide, CDL, ed2go), and (iv) the self-insured COASEHP healthcare plan. Direct-to-consumer revenue is concentrated in healthcare and trades credentials priced at $220-$4,150 per enrollment, while the bulk of operating revenue is institutionally driven and not publicly disclosed. The organization employs 251-500 staff, operates from a $42.1M, 200,000 sq ft LEED Silver-certified Regional Education Center (the first LEED-certified public school in New York State), and is led by District Superintendent/CEO Dr. Brian K. Hartwell, Ed.D., in office since May 2018.
