The School supports and complies with all applicable federal and state laws, procedures, and policies regarding the School’s child find responsibilities. The School will conduct all child find activities for students who are enrolled in the School (its geographical area) so that they are appropriately located, identified and referred for evaluation. Parents or guardians have the right to review their child’s records and refuse permission to release information (except as required by, or permitted by, law to be released).
Pursuant to Ohio law, the School is required to perform the same child find duties as city, local, exempted village school districts and will endeavor to adhere to its responsibilities in a manner that does not duplicate the duties of the city, local, or exempted village school districts.
A Child Find Notice shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the geographic area covered by the identification activity before any major identification activity.
