Area Coordinators Directory

As former superintendents and treasurers, Ohio Department of Education and Workforce area coordinators understand and appreciate the complexities and time commitments that come with managing a school or district. Area coordinators serve specific regions of the state and are available to serve as a primary point of contact for school and district leaders when with specific questions or when they are unsure who to contact within the Department.

Area coordinators provide many services to schools and districts. Find your school or district's coordinator on the map below.
