Current through all regulations passed and filed through September 16, 2024
(A)
Beginning with
the report card issued for the 2021-2022 school year, the report card will
include a gifted performance indicator in the gap closing component. The gifted
performance indicator will include the following elements to indicate whether
the gifted performance indicator is met:
(1)
A gifted
performance index;
(2)
Gifted progress;
(3)
Gifted
identification and services.
(B)
(1)
The gifted performance index element will measure the
performance of students on state assessments, as measured by the performance
index score described in section
3302.01
of the Revised Code, disaggregated for students identified as
gifted.
(2)
The performance benchmarks for the gifted performance
index element will be phased in over three years using the following
thresholds:
(a)
For the 2021-2022 school year, schools will meet the
performance benchmark if the school has at least ninety-five per cent of the
possible performance index score using the gifted school level maximum score.
For the 2021-2022 school year, districts will meet the performance benchmark if
the school has at least ninety-five per cent of the possible performance index
score using the gifted district level maximum score.
(b)
For the 2022-2023
school year, schools will meet the performance benchmark if the school has at
least 96.5 per cent of the possible performance index score using the gifted
school level maximum score. For the 2022-2023 school year, districts will meet
the performance benchmark if the school has at least 96.5 per cent of the
possible performance index score using the gifted district level maximum
score.
(c)
For the 2023-2024 school year and each school year
thereafter, schools will meet the performance benchmark if the school has at
least 97.5 per cent of the possible performance index score using the gifted
school level maximum score. For the 2023-2024 school year, districts will meet
the performance benchmark if the school has at least 97.5 per cent of the
possible performance index score using the gifted district level maximum
score.
(C)
(1)
The gifted progress element will be based on the
value-added growth measure under section
3302.021
of the Revised Code, disaggregated for students identified as
gifted.
(2)
A district or school will meet the gifted progress
element if the district or school would receive a three-star, four-star, or
five-star rating for the progress component based solely on students identified
as gifted. In making this calculation, the department will use the methodology
adopted by the state board of education for assigning a rating for the progress
component.
(D)
(1)
The gifted
identification and services element will measure both:
(a)
The percentage of
students in each grade level identified as gifted and disaggregated by
traditionally underrepresented and economically disadvantaged
students;
(b)
The level of services provided to students as measured
by the percentage of students provided services in each grade level and
disaggregated by traditionally underrepresented and economically disadvantaged
students.
For the purpose of this paragraph (D)
of this rule, students will be considered traditionally underrepresented based
on a representation index used by the department of education. The
representation index will be a ratio calculated that shows the representation
of students identified as gifted in the overall student
population.
(2)
The performance
benchmarks for the gifted identification and services element will be phased in
over three years using the following thresholds:
(a)
For the 2021-2022
school year, school districts and schools will meet the performance benchmark
if the district or school has at least sixty per cent of possible points of the
gifted identification and services point matrix. The total possible points will
not exceed one hundred forty points.
(b)
For the 2022-2023
school year, school districts and schools will meet the performance benchmark
if the district or school has at least seventy per cent of possible points of
the gifted identification and services point matrix. The total possible points
will not exceed one hundred forty points.
(c)
For the 2023-2024
school year and each school year thereafter, school districts and schools will
meet the performance benchmark if the district or school has at least eighty
per cent of possible points of the gifted identification and services point
matrix. The total possible points will not exceed one hundred forty
points.
(3)
(a)
For the purpose
of measuring gifted identification and services for school districts under
paragraph (D) of this rule, a district's points will be based on the following
grade bands for superior cognitive and specific academic identification and
services:
(i)
Kindergarten and grades one and two;
(ii)
Grades three,
four, five, and six;
(iii)
Grades seven and eight;
(iv)
Grades nine,
ten, eleven, and twelve.
(b)

of measuring gifted identification and services for school districts under
paragraph (D) of this rule, a district's points will be based on a grade band
of kindergarten through grade twelve for creativity, visual, or performing arts
identification and services.
(c)
For the purpose
of measuring gifted identification and services for schools under paragraph (D)
of this rule, a school's points will be based on a grade band of kindergarten
through grade twelve for all types of gifted identification and
services.
(E)
Community schools
established under Chapter 3314. of the Revised Code will not receive the gifted
performance indicator for the 2021-2022 school year. Starting with the
2022-2023 school year, community schools that notify the department of
education of the school's election to receive the gifted performance indicator
and will then have the gifted performance indicator contribute to the schools'
gap closing component rating.
(F)
Within three
years after the effective date of this rule, the department, in consultation
with the state gifted advisory council, shall provide recommendations to the
state board regarding the performance benchmarks established in this
rule.
