Welcome to the Colorado BOCES Association!

Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES) are an important and vital part of the public educational system of Colorado.  Its role is not generally understood, particularly by those who are directly affected by the services a BOCES provides. 

BOCES services are those needed by children, teachers, or school administrators but which can be more efficiently provided across school districts such as staff development or speech and language service.  Just how BOCES accomplishes this we have attempted to explain in non-technical language on this site.  It will give visitors a better understanding of BOCES and its importance to the educational system of Colorado.
