HERKIMER-FULTON-HAMILTON-OTSEGO BOCES

Situated at 352 Gros Boulevard in Herkimer, New York, the Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES functions as an active public educational service agency serving the surrounding region. Positioned within a rural fringe setting inside the broader Utica-Rome metropolitan area, this non-charter regional system supports a comprehensive academic scope spanning from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as specialized ungraded programming. Operating as a shared educational cooperative rather than a standard standalone district, it delivers targeted academic pathways, technical programs, and essential student support services across its central facility.

To fulfill its regional mission, the agency maintains a robust and specialized workforce totaling more than 550 full-time equivalent staff members. This includes a dedicated instructional team of 125 full-time equivalent teachers and 103 instructional aides, bolstered by over 320 support staff members who facilitate administrative, operational, and student care functions. For parents, students, and educational researchers, the Herkimer-Fulton-Hamilton-Otsego BOCES represents a vital collaborative framework that expands program offerings and maximizes educational resources across central New York communities.
