Private School Change of Information 

If your principal or head of school, location, or personnel contact information has changed since you submitted your last Private School Approval Application, submit the Private School Change of Information Alert to the State Board of Education (SBE). This ensures continuity of communication with state agencies. 

Note: There is no need to submit a Change Alert form if you listed your new head of school or other personnel changes in your 2024–2025 Approval Application.   

Important Notes: 

• Processing:

                Forms are reviewed twice monthly, around the 1st and 15th.

                Changes to the head of school or contact information typically appear in OSPI's Electronic Data System (EDS) within a week. Address changes may take longer. 

• New Principals or Heads of Schools:  

                Visit the main EDS page and select "Create an Account.”    

                Contact OSPI Customer Support to request user roles. For more information, see EDS Access.  

• School Name Changes:  

                These are only processed during the spring Approval Application period.

                When completing the Renewing Private School Application, use the new name of the school. 

• Form Access:  

                The Change of Information Alert form is disabled during the Approval Application window. Report changes for the upcoming school year directly in the Approval Application. 

• Temporary or Permanent School Closures:  

                Submit the Private School Closure Form to notify the State Board of your school's closure.
