Updated Gifted Operating Standards Crosswalk available – New version effective July 1, 2025

The Ohio Administrative Code, which governs Operating Standards for Identifying and Serving Students Who are Gifted, has been revised through the state’s administrative rule-making procedures. The new version of this rule will go into effect July 1. A copy of this rule filing can be found on the Register of Ohio website.

The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce created a document, the Gifted Operating Standards Crosswalk, that highlights key changes. The Crosswalk is intended to assist district leaders and educators in planning and scheduling for the 2025-2026 school year.

It is important to note that the Crosswalk does not detail every change between the current and new versions of the gifted operating standards and does not provide interpretation or implementation guidance.
