NEW Registration Procedures
Beginning January 1, 2008, ALL participants who plan to attend workshops, meetings, or advisory group sessions such as Advisory Council or Family Council sponsored by the State Support Team, Region 3, MUST register using the Ohio Department of Education's registration system called STARS.

Registering for events on STARS
After your Safe Account has been set up, click on "STARS V2.0" to search for events. You can search by name of workshop, date of workshop, or by zip code. State Support Team, Region 3’s zip code is 44125. We have found that the easiest way to search for a workshop is by the date.
