Component school boards last week approved the Questar III BOCES $4.24 million administrative budget for the 2013-14 school year. The portion of the budget approved supports the management, coordination and regional planning provided by the BOCES board and central administration. It is the only portion of the $63.25 million budget component districts vote on. The boards also elected Edmund Brooks, of the Ichabod Crane school district, Lynn Clum, of the Germantown school district, Robert Gibson, of the Brunswick school district and Christopher Southard, of the New Lebanon school district, to three-year terms on the Questar III board, beginning July 1. Carol Orvis, from the East Greenbush school district, was elected to a two-year term beginning July 1. All component school districts are required by law to vote on the BOCES administrative budget on the same day. Questar III BOCES serves 23 school districts in Rensselaer, Columbia and Greene counties.
