Long Island's public education community
gathered en masse on March 21, 2013, to pay tribute to some of its greatest
advocates. That's when Nassau BOCES presented 14 honorees with its
Education Partner award before a cheering crowd at the Crest Hollow
Country Club.
A strategic education partner with school districts since 1967,
Nassau BOCES created the awards program to honor those who share the
agency's commitment to providing the best possible education to
learners of all ages and abilities.
"Tonight we are honoring 11 people and three organizations that have
all proven that they are innovators as well. Individually and
collectively, they have had a powerful impact on public education in
this county -- and we have all benefited from their efforts," said
Nassau BOCES District Superintendent Dr. Thomas Rogers.
