The quality of SWBOCES’ Adult Literacy Program offerings was recognized this past school year by the New York State Education Department, prompting a 30 percent increase in funding and, in turn, a commensurate increase in the number of instructional hours offered. Those programs are offered in schools and other locations in communities across the SWBOCES region.
“This vote of confidence by New York State, as demonstrated by its financial support of our vital community programs, is not simply about the number of students enrolled in our programs but rather the number of hours of instructional services provided to our students,” Director of Adult & Community Services Tracy Racicot said. “It’s a matter of quality over quantity."
