March 2024
On behalf of the Monroe #1 Board of Cooperative Educational Services, I am pleased to present the Monroe #1 BOCES Preliminary Operating Budget for the 2024-2025 school year. The 2024-2025 school year, and those that follow, promise to be challenging times for schools. During these times, we must work more closely than ever to ensure that we are providing effective and cost-efficient services that meet the needs of your students and districts as a whole. Your input and partnership are invaluable as we strive to do this. During the 2024-2025 budget development process, we continued the process of refining the accuracy of our pricing structure as well as attempting to realize opportunities to reduce and control costs where possible. In addition, we also continued the process of conducting internal programmatic reviews in an effort to enhance the quality of what we offer. As always, on behalf of the Monroe #1 BOCES Board of Education, I would like to thank you for the work that you do on behalf of the students of our region.

RWADA= Resident Weighted Average Daily Attendance Section 1950 of the Education Law requires that costs for the administrative budget be apportioned among districts based on RWADA. Several other program budgets are also charged on this basis. Fluctuations in the population of students within the 10 component districts will influence the distribution of all the costs tied to the RWADA formula. Generally, if a single district’s student population decreases, measured as a percentage of the entire student population of a BOCES, that district’s percentage of RWADA-driven costs will also decrease. As a district’s population grows to a larger percentage of the overall population, that district’s RWADA-driven costs will increase. The formula that is used does not, however, count every student equally, so the RWADA count assigned to a district is not a simple count of the number of students registered. Regular education school students at a secondary level and certain special education students receive a heavier weighting than primary and elementary students.
