Substitute Teaching - OSTS

Substitute Teaching Process
OSTS

The Educational Service Center of Medina County is a partner with the Ohio Substitute Teacher Services (OSTS) consortium. The OSTS provides substitute services for schools in Cuyahoga, Lake, Lorain, Medina, Portage, and Summit Counties. Click here to watch an informational video about OSTS and substitute teaching.  

Visit the OSTS website at www.ohiosts.org to learn more about the consortium.  Although some of the pre-employment documents can be used to process your employment with both ESCMC and OSTS, there is some additional paperwork that needs to be completed for each individual organization.  

 
Step #1 - Complete an online AppliTrack application.  Once you have completed the AppliTrack application, you will be contacted by a member of the OSTS team for a phone interview via email.
 
Step #2 - After your phone interview, a member of our team will reach out to your references.
 
Step #3 - Selected candidates will be invited to a New Hire Orientation to complete employment paperwork.
