Residents who live within the boundaries of the Genesee Valley BOCES region will have the opportunity to vote on a proposed Capital Improvement Project on Tuesday, June 9, 2026. This is the first project since 2005 and only the second capital project undertaken by BOCES since the merger in 1994. The project is designed to address critical building maintenance and infrastructure needs while expanding educational spaces to support growing Career and Technical Education (CTE) and Special Education programs across the region.
Why the Project is Needed Now
The proposed project comes at a critical time for Genesee Valley BOCES facilities and programs. A recent New York State Education Department-required Building Condition Survey identified significant infrastructure and maintenance needs throughout BOCES buildings. Many systems and building components are now at or beyond their expected lifespan.
Critical maintenance needs include:
Mechanical system improvements and energy efficiencies
Replacement of more than 45,000 square feet of roofing
Replacement of 54+ Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) units
Brick and lintel repairs
Safety and infrastructure upgrades across campuses
Many of these facility needs have not been comprehensively addressed since the last Capital Project 20 years ago.
Growing Student Enrollment & Program Demand
Genesee Valley BOCES has experienced significant growth in student enrollment and program demand over the past several decades while facility space has remained largely unchanged.
Since the organization’s last major capital project in 2005:
Career and Technical Education (CTE) enrollment has increased by approximately 35%
Special Education enrollment is currently at a 10-year high
Additional educational programs have been developed to meet regional workforce and industry needs. For example, programs such as Diesel Technology, Emergency Medical Technician, and Electro-Mechanical Trades, to name a few.
The proposed additions and renovations would provide updated learning environments and additional instructional space to better support students, staff, and expanding educational programs.
BOCES continues to develop programs aligned with local workforce demands, helping students gain the skills needed to live, work, and succeed throughout the Genesee Valley region.

Who Benefits?
Approximately 1,700 students attend Genesee Valley BOCES programs daily, making BOCES the second-largest K-12 educational institution in the region. In addition, Genesee Valley BOCES serves 500 adult learners annually.
How is it funded?
The total cost of the project is $42,885,649. New York State BOCES Aid is expected to cover approximately 71.51% of the cost, funding the majority of the project. The remaining 28.49% will be shared among the 22 component districts within Genesee Valley BOCES, with each district’s contribution based on average daily attendance. The project will have no impact on 2026-27 school district budgets.
