The Employer is required to make reasonable accommodation for qualified individuals with known disabilities unless doing so would result in an undue hardship.

Child Find 2

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.

Graduation Requirements

Students in the classes of 2023 and beyond must meet three key components to graduate: (1) Course Completion, (2) Competency Demonstration, and (3) Readiness Demonstration. In addition to these three key components, students must also meet state graduation test requirements to graduate.

Course Completion

Ohio students must complete a minimum of 20 units, with specific units required in each content area. Given IDEA’s college for all mission, our students will not only meet these course requirements, but graduate with 27+ units.
