Yes, the state law in OH and reality often leave much to be desired.

The only mandate is for testing and GT ID...sometime. It's up to the schools how they test, when they test, and who qualifies as GT. No programs are required, no skips, no minimum scores...basically the schools currently just have to test for GTness; they do not have to do a single thing about the results of those tests!

It's supposed to get better. There's some new law coming in, I think. (I learn about it next week at a POGS meeting.) But for now, the ODE can put darn near anything on their website and it has basically no effect on the schools whatsoever.
