Member Districts

The Colorado River BOCES (board of cooperative education services) has been serving school districts in the Roaring Fork Valley to De Beque since 2017. Our main office is located in Parachute, CO. We provide special education leadership and services, administer Yampah Mountain High School, provide alternative licensure, regional Career and Technical Education, and administers Colorado's supplemental and blended learning program.


BOCES are an important and vital part of public educational systems in Colorado. The Colorado River BOCES helps to provide opportunities for rural districts that otherwise may not be able to provide.
