Children may receive early admission only in accordance with the school district’s acceleration policy (adopted pursuant to ORC 3324.10). Referral for the early admission can be made by the child’s parent or guardian, an educator employed by the district, a preschool educator who knows the child, or a pediatrician or psychologist who knows the child. However, the child being proposed for early admission to kindergarten or first grade must be 5 or 6 years of age, respectively, prior to January 1 of the school year for which the admission is requested in order to be evaluated for early admission. If the child is not age 5 or 6, respectively, prior to January 1, the child can be admitted only in accordance with the district’s acceleration policy.
