ORLEANS-NIAGARA BOCES

Located at 4232 Shelby Basin Road in Medina, New York, Orleans-Niagara BOCES functions as an open public educational service agency serving a rural fringe community within the greater Rochester metropolitan region. Operating as a non-charter public entity, the district maintains one operational school facility designed to support a comprehensive academic range from kindergarten through 12th grade, as well as specialized ungraded programming.

To deliver its educational and administrative services, the district utilizes a large workforce comprising approximately 1,190 full-time equivalent (FTE) staff members. This team includes nearly 344 FTE teachers, 192 FTE instructional aides, and over 654 FTE support staff members dedicated to district operations. Although official enrollment figures reflect zero direct student membership—a metric characteristic of regional educational service agencies that support partner school systems—the district maintains a fully staffed operational framework accessible to researchers, families, and surrounding communities.
