Pleasantville UFSD partners with Southern Westchester BOCES to provide programming, support, and professional learning to all members of the Pleasantville Community. 

The Southern Westchester Board of Cooperative Educational Services (SWBOCES) was established in 1948 by the New York State Commissioner of Education and the Board of Regents to provide shared educational and management services to schools and school districts in our geographic region. From those beginnings, SWBOCES has grown to offer hundreds of cooperative, cost-efficient services to school districts in the region, encompassing 187 different schools, 104,000 students, and more than 650,000 adults who live and work here.

SWBOCES prides itself on providing high quality resources ranging from technology assistance to special education and occupational education programs. It specifically assists school districts by:

• Introducing and responding to program requests and initiatives both from local districts and from the state Education Department.
• Providing services, facilities and personnel to meet mutual needs identified on a regional cooperative basis.
• Determining ongoing educational trends and challenges, and preparing districts for what lies ahead.
• Receiving and administering grants for a broad array of services for students, staff members, and community residents.
