Amendment to QIII Safety Plan - Cardiac Emergency Response Plan (CERP)
A Public Hearing will be held at the 11/13/25 Board Meeting to discuss the Questar III BOCES Districtwide Cardiac Emergency Response Plan as an amendment to the current QIII Safety Plan in advance of request for approval by the board at the 12/11/2025 Board Meeting.
Like public school systems, BOCES are governed by a policy-making board of education. The 11 members of the Questar III board serve three-year terms and are elected by component boards from Rensselaer, Columbia, and Greene counties through a special vote held each April. BOCES Board members represent and are accountable to our component school boards.
The duties and responsibilities of the Board members include:
- Appointing BOCES District Superintendent (subject to the approval of the Commissioner of Education);
- Setting policies for the organization and plans for the future;
- Providing shared services and programs to component districts;
- Employing teachers and staff to deliver programs and services; and
- Preparing an annual BOCES budget and overseeing spending.
