Student Directory Information

The District is permitted by law to disclose appropriately designated “directory information” without obtaining the prior written consent of the parent or eligible student unless the parent or eligible student has withdrawn this permission in accordance with District procedures.

Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, is used to include students in various school publications.

Examples of internal publications that utilize Directory Information include but are not limited to:

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

In addition, two (2) federal laws require the District to provide military recruiters, upon request, with the following information on its junior and senior class students – names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the District that they do not want their student’s information disclosed.
