The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce’s Office of Accountability is currently 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 2024 school and district awards will be going out to eligible districts and schools, and it is important to ensure that district or school mailing addresses, and who the information is addressed to, such as superintendent or principal, is accurate.
To ensure this information is up-to-date and accurate, 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, 2024.
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 to school and district staff members throughout the year. The start of the school year is the perfect time 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 for their organizations by logging in to their OHID accounts. Those who are not OEDS Organization Administrators can follow these instructions to update their own contact information.
More information regarding updating various records within OEDs can be found in the Department’s OEDS manual.
