ORANGE-ULSTER BOCES

Located at 53 Gibson Road in Goshen, New York, Orange-Ulster BOCES functions as an active public educational service agency set within a rural fringe community of the Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie-Newburgh metropolitan area. Operating as a non-charter regional entity, the district serves a broad developmental spectrum spanning from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as specialized ungraded instruction. Rather than functioning solely as a traditional single-neighborhood school, this operational facility acts as a regional hub designed to deliver shared academic offerings, career and technical education, and customized support programs that enrich the educational ecosystem for surrounding school systems.

To fulfill its specialized mission, Orange-Ulster BOCES maintains a robust workforce, employing over 1,725 full-time equivalent staff members according to federal education data for the 2024–2025 academic year. This interdisciplinary team features nearly 475 full-time equivalent teachers and a strong classroom support network of 384 instructional aides, reinforced by more than 865 dedicated support personnel overseeing student services, technical operations, and administration. For parents, students, and educational researchers, these metrics illustrate an institution exceptionally well-resourced to deliver high-touch instructional support, tailored learning environments, and broad institutional capacity across the region.
