Policies and Resources

BOCES 4 Science Kit Lease Policies

Billing and District Financial Commitment
Districts will be billed at the minimum of the kit order total that is submitted to BOCES 4 Science on or after July 1. This includes costs of kits, student science journals, shipping and administrative fees.

Any adjustments above the initial total will be due upon scheduling via a modified service agreement or cross contract. Any adjustments below the initial total will not be refunded as the initial order dictates materials ordering and a financial cost to BOCES 4 Science.

Kit Assessment and Inventory
Districts are responsible for checking kit inventory and materials upon delivery. Any missing/damaged parts must be reported to BOCES 4 Science within two weeks of the delivery date.
