Child Find Policy

The School supports and complies with all applicable federal and state laws, procedures and policies regarding the School’s child find responsibilities.

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.
