Federal public law 107-110, section 9528 of the ESEA, \"No Child Left Behind Act\" requires school districts to release student names, addresses, and phone numbers to military recruiters upon their request. Students are then called at home by recruiters and pressured to join the military. The law also requires the school district to notify you of your right to Opt-Out from this by requesting that the district not release your information to military recruiters. The completion and return of this form serves as your request to withhold your private information. Turn in the completed form by October 22, 2004.
