In response to a complaint filed by the Children’s Law Center and LRS, the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) issued a letter of finding stating that three Ohio school systems have violated federal law by denying educational services to students with learning disabilities while at county operated juvenile detention facilities.

ODE also ordered a systemic review to determine whether other similarly situated students’ Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act rights are being violated.
