RELATIONS WITH MILITARY RECRUITERS, POSTSECONDARY INSTITUTIONS AND PROSPECTIVE EMPLOYERS
IN HIGH SCHOOLS
This policy is established by the Board of Education to provide high-school students with a convenient way to obtain accurate information about potential careers, employers (including the military), and post-secondary educational opportunities, and to give students convenient access to recruiters representing organizations that provide these kinds of opportunities.
All military recruiters, postsecondary institutions, and prospective employers shall be treated uniformly with regard to the conduct of on-campus student recruitment. Employers are defined as recognized companies that offer structured employment or internship opportunities to high-school students.
General meetings or recruiting events will be limited to 2 per school year with principal approval and will take place in a location specified by the principal. In addition, recruiters will be allowed to conduct meetings during the school day with those students who have expressed an interest. All meetings and events will be scheduled through the school and limited to the counseling office, career center, or specific classrooms.
Evening fairs or other recruiting events scheduled outside of school hours shall not count toward the two-day limit for a specific recruiting entity. Classroom teachers may schedule organizational recruiters as career awareness activities, and such activities also shall not count toward the two-day limit for a specific recruiting entity.
Directory and other student information shall be released to recruiters as allowable in accordance with Board Policy JO, Student Records/Release of Information on Students. Distribution and posting of written literature will be in accordance with Board policy KDB, Distribution/Posting of Noncurricular Materials.
High-School Parents’ & Students’ Right to Refuse Disclosure of Personal Information to
Military
Upon request and as required by applicable law, the School District will release high-students’ names, addresses, School District email addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters. The District will release this information within 60 days after a request is made and may seek reimbursement for the costs of complying with the request.
Students and their parents have the right to request that the School District not release their student information to military recruiters via an opt our form, JO-E2.Any opt-out request, whether from a parent or a student, can be done at any time during the year and will be effective for the remainder of the student’s time in the School District unless revised by the parent or student.
If the test known as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is used, high-school staff will take reasonable steps to ensure that no student who has an opt out form on file will participate in the ASVAB testing.
