Each SAFE account is unique and is not shared among individuals, school districts or organization staff. Every "secure" action by a SAFE account owner in a secure ODE Web application is logged and stored for security auditing. The Ohio Educational Directory System (OEDS) is an online data system that allows organizations that do business with ODE (such as public districts, public schools, JVSDs, community schools, ESCs, nonpublic schools, etc.) to maintain their own data profile. The general public can search OEDS for the most current information about an organization, such as mailing address, phone number and e-mail. OBTAINING A SAFE ACCOUNT To access any secure data systems or online applications on the ODE Web site, a SAFE account must be set up. To obtain a SAFE account, do the following: 1. The user must have his/her state issued driver s license or state identification card on hand. Information from a valid state driver s license or state ID card will be needed to create a SAFE account. [Note: For those without an Ohio driver s license or ID card, there is a manual process for obtaining a SAFE account; follow the prompts for Option 2 at http://webapp2.ode.state.oh.us/port al/signup/dl_entry.asp.] 2. Click the SAFE Account Sign In button located at the bottom of the menu on the left side of the ODE home page and follow the prompts, or click on this link: http://webapp2.ode.state.oh.us/portal/signu p/. 3.
