MILITARY RECRUITER ACCESS
Military recruiters routinely request name, address and phone numbers of 11th and 12th graders. This information is used to provide students with details about military opportunities. The “No Child Left Behind” legislation of January 2002 allows a parent or student to request that student information not be released to the recruiters. This requirement is separate from the current process of excluding students from release of “Directory Information” and must be requested annually. Parents or eligible students may request that student information not be released to military recruiters. The form is available and can be submitted online. Visit www.wayzata.k12.mn.us/whs under the “For Parents” link. Forms are also available in the 2nd Floor Office if you prefer to complete the form manually. Forms must be returned to the Principal’s Office by October 30, 2015.
