Our Partners

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach—because every student and every family is unique.

The heart of a successful Community School strategy is simple: start with the person. By understanding each student’s and family’s specific needs, we can connect them with the right supports at the right time.

This isn’t something a school does alone. It’s a shared effort—schools, students, and families working together to build a foundation for success. Because each community is different, every Community School will look a little different too. And that’s the beauty of it—it’s built around real people, real relationships, and real needs.

At OCM BOCES, Community Schools are built on partnerships.

We work hand-in-hand with local service providers—welcoming them into our schools and integrating their support into the everyday lives of our students, families, and communities. These partnerships are what make Community Schools thrive.
