Description
A Brief History
It all began on September 9, 1948 when a group of 40 people met to discuss the new intermediate district legislation. On that date the second BOCES in the state became a reality. Five newly elected board members joined District Superintendent Robert E. Bell in the venture.
During the first years, a guidance counselor acted as the director of this new education agency. Initially, 13 itinerant teachers were hired to serve in the areas of art, dental hygiene, remedial reading, psychology, guidance and physical education. The sharing concept was now being carried out in several districts in Northern Westchester. Additional personnel were later added such as a nurse, librarian, and teachers of the handicapped, driver education, speech correction and vision until, in 1956, there were 44 shared professional staff members.
In 1952, the guidance center became a separate service category and opened a center in Katonah. It offered testing and counseling to 10 schools.
