BOCES enrollment soars as bond vote looms
In two years Orange County BOCES enrollments tripled from 116 to 421 students as 14 courses were offered this year with more than 600 expected next year. Voters in 18 districts face a $5.9 million bond for a Goshen complex on Gibson Road and a New Windsor site, funded by a 20 year bond with state aid. The Goshen plan includes occupational and handicapped education facilities with programs across agriculture, automotive, building trades, business, graphics, health services, metal, and more. A public hearing at Goshen High School is set for Monday with other meetings this week to inform residents.

Mrs Crist Predicts Smashing BOCES Vote At Referendum
Amy Bull Crist, district superintendent of Orange County schools, told 20 Tuxedo taxpayers she expected a smashing victory in the June 26 referendum on a $5 million BOCES center. She said the plan would buy land near Goshen and New Windsor to build two centers, financed by a 20 year bond, with taxes rising about 47 cents per $1000 of true value. The facilities would include a vocational building for 700 students and a handicapped education center with 20 classrooms and a data processing center.
