State Support Team Region 1 (SST 1) staff work closely with the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce to provide resources, coaching, high-quality professional development, and technical assistance to the districts, community schools, educational service centers, and boards of developmental disabilities across 13 counties in northwest Ohio.
