The Mountain BOCES (Board of Cooperative Education Services)
unites the needs of four Colorado Member Districts: Buena Vista
School District R-31, Lake County School District R-1, Park County
School District Re-2 and Salida School District R-32-J. Although
small, these districts share the same passion as larger
districts—improved online and blended learning education through
support, accountability and collaboration. One of the keys to
achieving this objective is equipping teacher candidates and
induction participants with the tools to take ownership of their
continuing education. This philosophy also applies to the
principals and teachers getting them there. A tool with increasing
responsibility in equipping them is the Mountain BOCES’
website.
Whether it’s principals and teachers inquiring about licensures,
certifications or inductions; or districts inquiring about the
Tiered Services Model that offers options to improve effectiveness
and accountability, Mountain BOCES’ website is their
go-to-resource. Special education and gifted education resources
are made available to parents and educators who visit the website.
To efficiently serve the needs of its diverse user base, Mountain
BOCES turned to Colorado Interactive (CI) and the Statewide
Internet Portal Authority (SIPA).
“I have no formal education in technology, and I’m the one who
developed the website,” said Director of Professional Learning,
Rose Ley. “The information on our previous website wasn’t
maintained because it was cumbersome. We’re a small group where
each person functions in more than one capacity. With the ease of
our new website, I can make content updates and so can other staff
members.” Ley added, “Meeting compliance with the Public School
Financial Transparency Act is essential, as is posting Board
agendas and minutes. I appreciated the opportunity to attend a
webinar about 508 Accessibility Compliance.”
CI provides digital government services and
training to state agencies, local governments and educational
entities through a contract with SIPA—the official internet portal
connecting the public with Colorado governments. The partnership’s
mission allows government leaders to focus on delivering on-demand,
digital government solutions without requests for proposals or the
use of tax appropriations. The CI/SIPA partnership has benefitted
more than 60 special districts and educational organizations in
Colorado.
To see more success in schools, BOCES rethinks school
programming. “In order to see more educational institutions having
success with their websites, we’re teaching them how to rethink
managing them,” says Colorado Interactive’s President and General
Manager, Fred Sargeson. “Our training and content management system
gives them complete control of their information so they can
provide timely information to their constituents.” Public
educational entities in need of free website development and
hosting as well as payment processing through the Colorado.gov Web
portal, should contact SIPA.
