If you school provides gt services then presumably is collecting $ for units of gt services from the state... then they have to be in compliance with ODE's gift rule passed last year... which is 225 minutes a week and a WEP (I think that is the term not IEP so it is legally less actionable but at least some thing in writing is good).
Go to ODE (ohio dept of ed) and search up "gifted rule" It was passed last year. Also you may have a contact person who oversees a region of gt people. I have found that you can actually talk to a person at ODE - who knew - and its super easy. Also google up Ohio Assoc. of Gifted Children (OAGC) and make sure you are getting their blurps. There is a gifted charter (free) in the cleveland area. The options in the Cinci area - from what I know - are $$$. But don't kick yourself, by in large - gifted education isn't something you can always fix with money. A lot of private schools around here don't do any more/better than public for gt kids.
