Ohio has very clear standards on gifted identification and educational requirements. The first place I would start is looking at ODE website section of gifted education. My district has its own additional guidelines available online as well. I would investigate the district policy on gifted identification. I believe the state has requirements that each school must have a policy regarding gifted education.
I'm sure each district varies a lot by what they are calling gifted education, but at least that's a place to start gathering your information. I have always spent a lot time getting all of my evidence before approaching the school. It's a lot easier for them to shut you down when they have more information than you do.
The state guidelines have been quite useful for us getting subject accelerations. It can be next to impossible in the younger grades with scheduling. Some districts have the Gifted IEPs and that can be very useful as well.
Feel free to PM me if you have any Ohio specific questions
