Our Vision:
Changing lives and shaping the future.
Our Mission:
To partner with
all Nassau County school districts
in providing leadership and the highest quality educational and support services.
We are committed to ensuring a successful, challenging, caring and safe environment that enables students of all ages
and abilities to achieve their maximum potential.
Our Agency-Wide Initiatives
At the heart of our strategic plan, our agency-wide initiatives express what we collectively expect to achieve.
As we move forward, they will guide us, particularly in determining, measuring and reporting on department-level
activities that support these efforts.
1. Build Capacity
We will build capacity through recruitment and retention of quality employees for the agency and
component districts. We will promote agency and district success through professional development,
effective performance evaluations, and cross training that develops and leverages employees’ strengths.
We will collaborate on cost-effective, technology-driven solutions to enable us to better meet internal and
district needs as evidenced by implementation of the PeopleSoft Asset Management System and eRecruit.
2. Strengthen decision-making and planning
Research, data, and best practice models will be used in our decision-making, planning, and evaluation throughout the agency.
Toward this end, we will expand the pilot account management project to a larger group of school districts.
3. Facilities
We will provide students and employees with safe, comfortable environments conducive to learning and working.
We will implement recommendations put forth in the Facilities Master Plan and successfully arrange a referendum to purchase
a new building.
4. Student achievement and engagement
We will continue to promote successful educational outcomes for students across all programs through meaningful curriculum,
instruction and assessment, with particular emphasis on creation of Nassau BOCES student systems.
5. Building relationships with stakeholders
We will create an environment committed to internal and external customer service and provide customized access to existing and
emerging programs and services. Key aspects of this initiative include implementation of a portal, planning and funding for a new
Web site design, additional piloting of the account management plan, and continued marketing of agency services.
