The role of the Council includes:
- Assisting in the development and updating of a Department-approved plan for gifted education in Ohio;

- Establishing criteria for identifying and recognizing schools, districts and other educational providers
The Gifted Advisory Council explores the development and implementation of state policies that affect identification, instruction, professional supports, leadership and funding for gifted education.

Members will represent a variety of stakeholders from diverse regions of the state, including parents, general and gifted educators, administrators, and others as determined by the superintendent of public instruction.
