Established in 2013, Ohio Substitute Teacher Services (OSTS), formally known as the North Coast Shared Services Alliance, provides Ohio school districts with quality substitute teachers. OSTS is a collaboration between the Educational Service Centers (ESCs) of Lorain County, Medina County, and Northeast Ohio. The organization expands into Southeast Ohio, where our partner, the ESC of East Central Ohio, and affiliate partner the ESC of Columbiana County, provide substitute services to school districts in their respective regions.
OSTS partners provide the following substitute management services:
- Recruitment and Screening
- Compliance
- Training
- Schedule Management
- State Teachers Retirement System (STRS) Management Services
- Payroll Services and Risk Management
Ohio Substitute Teacher Services represents more than 50 school districts in 12 counties, including Cuyahoga, Geauga, Lake, Lorain, and Medina in Northeast Ohio and Belmont, Columbiana, Coshocton, Guernsey, Harrison, Jefferson, and Tuscarawas in Southern Ohio.
OUR MISSION IS SIMPLE:
