Shared Decision Making Team

Shared decision making (SDM) is a process designed to involve individuals responsible for implementing decisions in actually making those decisions. The focus of this process at HFM BOCES is on education. The main goals of SDM activity are to “improve student achievement” and, secondarily, to “strengthen community support for the BOCES by fostering greater public involvement in and ‘ownership’ of the educational process.” For more information about the HFM BOCES Shared Decision Making Plan, click here.
