After finalizing a lease agreement for the property in November, Jefferson-Lewis BOCES is moving forward with plans to use the Maple Ridge Center, 7421 East Road, Lowville, to expand career and technical education programs and job training opportunities for students throughout the region.

A state organization that promotes and advocates for rural health care has recognized the BOCES Adult Education Department for their work in advancing health care in the region.

Ledger Brownell, a BOCES special education student at Lowville Academy and Central School, along with Teacher Assistant Charlene Hirschey, demonstrate the book vending machine that is available to students at the school.
