OEDS updates for Roster Verification due Feb. 2

1/8/2024

Now is the time to update Ohio Educational Directory System (OEDS) roles and contact information for principals, assistant principals, and directors of secondary education to support the upcoming Roster Verification process. Additionally, administrators should make sure district staff members’ email addresses are updated in the Student Information System and Education Management Information System (EMIS). Please make these updates by Feb. 2 to ensure seamless communications.

OEDS is a database of self-reported contact information for school districts, community schools, nonpublic schools, educational service centers, and other educational organizations. The Department uses the information in the system to send important communications to school and district staff members throughout the year.

Each staff member listed in OEDS must have a valid email address marked as "Primary" to receive critical communications. Those with the role of OEDS Organization Administrator can update staff members’ contact information for their organizations by logging in to their OHID portal accounts. Those who are not OEDS Organization Administrators can follow these instructions to update their own contact information.

For general question about updating OEDS information, contact OEDS.ContactUs@education.ohio.gov.
