- Students contact information: Schools are required to release student directory information – Name, phone number, home address – of students (In many cases, only 11th and 12th grade students). Information cannot be released until students and parents have had ample time to opt out of having their information released.
- Student Privacy Protection and Notification: Schools must notify student and parents of their right to keep their information private from military recruiters. Opt Out forms may be signed by either students or parents. Opt Out deadlines are usually in the Fall. Make sure you find out when your schools deadline is.
- Equal Access: NCLB requires schools to give military recruiters “the same access to secondary school students as is provided generally to post secondary educational institutions (colleges or universities) or to prospective employees of those students.” Recruiters should not receive preferential access.
