How to Update Your School's Information in State Records
Submit the Form: If there’s been a change in your private school’s personnel or location, please use this form to notify the State Board of Education. This helps us keep your school's records accurate and up to date.
Processing Time: We review and process submissions twice a month, around the 1st and 15th. Changes to your Head of School or additional contacts should show up in OSPI’s EDS system within about a week of processing, while address changes may take a little longer.
Approval Application: If you’ve already updated your Head of School in your 2024-2025 Approval Application, there’s no need to submit this form. During the Approval Application window each spring, this form is disabled and all changes for the upcoming school year should be made directly in the Approval Application.
Confirmation Email: After submitting the Change of Information form, be sure to save your confirmation email. If you need to verify that your changes were processed and you’ve misplaced the email, feel free to reach out to the private schools manager or log into your EDS account to check.
School Name Changes: If your school’s name is changing, this can only be done during the spring Approval Application process. You’ll log into the Renewing Private School Application to indicate both the new and previous names of your school.
Friendly Reminder: Please submit the form only once for each change. Multiple submissions can slow down processing. Following these guidelines will help ensure that your updates are handled smoothly and on time.
