Source-derived summary

The New York State Education Department (NYSED) divides the state into nine Joint Management Team (JMT) Regions, excluding New York City. Each JMT contains one or more Regional Information Centers (RIC), which contain one or more Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), and each BOCES supports several school districts.

The majority of school districts are independent governments, and those are counted as separate governments by the U.S. Census Bureau. Five are not and are under the authority of their respective municipalities: Buffalo, New York City, Rochester, Syracuse, and Yonkers.

The table below is sorted by either the school district, number of students, county, BOCES, RIC and JMT. Some school districts are not part of BOCES; they are appended with "(not BOCES)".

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“List of school districts in New York” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, List, school and districts provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6637314. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2002.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
