Directory Information Opt Out Military Recruitment Opt Out

In order to Opt-Out of the release of your student's information as outlined in the explanation below, download the Directory Information and Military Recruiter Opt-Out Form, sign and return to your student's school. 

The District does disclose “directory information” without written consent unless you have advised the school to the contrary (see below). The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the District to include this information from your child’s education records in certain school publications or entities that provide school-related services. Examples include:

  • A playbill, showing your student’s role in a drama production; 

  • The annual yearbook;

  • Honor roll or other recognition lists; Graduation programs;

  • Sports activity sheets, such as for wrestling, showing the weight and height of team members;

  • School directories published by parent-teacher associations; and Newspaper or Broadcast Media stories or photos

Directory information, generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent’s prior written consent. Outside organizations include but are not limited to companies that manufacture class rings, publish yearbooks, produce school photographs, or charitable organizations. In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEAs) receiving assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information categories - names, addresses, and telephone listings - unless parents have advised the school that they do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent.

Recruiters (college or military) shall not solicit personal information from students who do not approach them, nor shall they distribute materials to students who do not approach them. 

If you do not want directory information shared or information released to military recruiters, return this form to your school within 15 days of registering your child or receiving the Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook.
