Ohio Law for Identification/Service of Gifted
Ohio
school districts are not required to serve gifted by law,
but they are required to identify students as gifted in
grades K-12. The Law or Ohio Revised Code specifies how
gifted students are to be identified. The Rule also
provides specifics on how districts may serve gifted
children. Ohio districts must comply with both the Law and
the Rule.
