The District has the option to select and obtain their own Attendance/Residency Investigator or select an Investigator already contracting with Erie 1 BOCES.

Once an Attendance/Residency Investigator has been selected and approved by Erie 1 BOCES to provide services to the District, the District will assign cases to the Investigator on an "as needed" basis and the work will be conducted on an hourly basis. The Investigator will track his/her hours per case and submit to the District for approval/verification. Tracking and verification includes any travel, mileage or miscellaneous costs. The District will then submit the documented hours to Erie 1 BOCES for processing. Erie 1 BOCES is responsible for coordinating the service and coordination with vendors related to the Attendance/Residency Investigator.
