Last week, Frenalytics was awarded a three-year statewide contract by the Board of Directors of BOCES through Erie 1 BOCES, a program of shared educational services provided to school districts by the New York State Legislature.
This expanded services agreement – originally formed through Frenalytics’ partnership with Eastern Suffolk BOCES announced in late 2024 – enables 37 BOCES and the 700+ school districts they represent throughout New York State to access discounted FrenalyticsEDU licenses and professional development (PD) offerings for their students in special education and English Language Learner (ELL) environments.
“We’re ecstatic to partner with Erie 1 BOCES to expand our award-winning platform for students receiving special education and ELL services to districts across our hometown New York State,” exclaimed Matt Giovanniello, CEO and co-founder of Frenalytics.
“Districts and BOCES programs large and small will benefit from FrenalyticsEDU’s time-saving progress monitoring tools, intuitive communication & compliance offerings, and award-winning software & services. This statewide partnership directly advances our mission of helping students of all abilities lead more independent lives, and we’re humbled by the opportunity to empower families and educators to support our underserved populations in such a meaningful way.”

- Freeing SpEd teachers of dozens of hours on IEP paperwork every week
- Helping improve student retention with personalized, standards-aligned, and age-appropriate lessons
- Enabling SpEd teachers to focus on teaching, rather than manually progress monitoring
- Centralizing communications for SpEd staff, students and families in a single portal
