Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce's objection to the magistrate's decision denying a motion to dismiss for lack of subject-matter jurisdiction. The trial court's denial of the motion to dismiss was a final appealable order because it prevented a judgment in favor of the Department. The trial court had subject-matter jurisdiction to entertain the Governing Board's declaratory judgment and mandamus claims, regardless of whether federal preemption applied. Ohio's Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (\IDEA\) complaint procedures are not in conflict with federal law.
