Opt Out
 

A little known provision of the No Child Left Behind Act requires high schools to release the names, addresses and phone numbers of students to military recruiters unless those students/parents have specifically requested that their private information not be released. This is referred to as 'opting out'.

 

In District 214 the form is distributed in the fall packet to incoming freshmen and transfer students. If you didn't receive a form or aren't sure, click here to print out a District 214 opt-out form. District 214 requires parents to sign the form unless the student is 18. Turn the completed form into the office.
