WHEREAS, the Board of Education of the Troy City School District (hereinafter referred to as the “District”)
desires to enter into a five year service agreement with the Albany-Schoharie-Schenectady-Saratoga Board
of Cooperative Educational Services (hereinafter referred to as “CR BOCES”) in order for the CR BOCES to
furnish certain services to the District pursuant to New York State Education Law §1950(4)(jj), those services
being administrative services in Co-Ser 604.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is
RESOLVED, that the Board of Education of the Troy City School District agrees to enter into a contract with
the CR BOCES for the provision of said services to the District and not to exceed in total over the life of this
agreement the total amount of $551,291.35 and associated CR BOCES charges with such amount to include

applicable taxes and surcharges included at the current rate and subject to change as established in the CR
BOCES budget or mandated by any federal, state or local authority.
This amount may be amended with the approval of both parties. The District will be liable to CR BOCES for
early cancellation or withdrawal from this agreement to the same extent that CR BOCES is liable to any
vendor(s) of these services, including liability for applicable penalties or liquidated damages, and the District
will also be liable for costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred
by CR BOCES as consequence of any such early cancellation or withdrawal. The District further agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold BOCES, its elected officials, its employees, and agents, harmless from any and all
liability, claims including bodily injury or property damage, causes of action, damages and expenses, including
attorney fees, which may arise out of the negligent actions of the District, its elected officials, employees,
agents, invitees, and volunteers while using this service.
Payment will be made as part of a regular annual CR BOCES contract for services. Further, this agreement is
subject to the approval of the Board of Education of CR BOCES. This contract will be for a maximum period
