Reminder: Update OEDS contact information by Oct. 14

10/8/2024

Review district and school addresses and administrator contacts to receive important Department communications throughout the school year

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce currently is in the process of finalizing school and district awards for the 2023-2024 school year, which should be available in the coming months. Various mailings related to the awards will be sent to eligible districts and schools and it is important to ensure accuracy for mailing addresses and administrator contact information.

The Department is requesting districts and schools to review their mailing addresses and administrator contacts in the Ohio Educational Directory System (OEDS) by Monday, Oct. 14.

OEDS is a decentralized directory data system in which organizations maintain their own data, including 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 throughout the year. It is important to make sure contact information is correct and points of contact are identified in the system.

Those with the role of OEDS Organization Administrator can update staff members’ contact information by logging in to their OHID accounts. Those who are not OEDS Organization Administrators can follow these instructions to update contact information.

More information regarding updating various records within OEDs can be found in the Department’s OEDS manual.

Contact OEDS.ContactUS@education.ohio.gov for assistance.
