HB 2986-S - DIGEST |
(DIGEST OF PROPOSED 1ST SUBSTITUTE) |
Declares an intent, in the interest of student confidentiality, that school districts minimize the release of student telephone numbers and other directory information in the absence of express parental consent. The legislature finds that the nondisclosure of student telephone numbers and other directory information reduces the possibility of harassment of students and their families by organizations that received student information. |
Provides that, by September 1, 2006, each school district shall adopt a policy and procedures for providing separate written notice to every public high school student and his or her parent or legal guardian. The notice shall inform the parent or legal guardian and the student: (1) Of their right to request, pursuant to 20 U.S.C. Sec. 7908(a)(2), that the student's directory information not be released to recruiters without the prior written consent of the student's parent or guardian or the student; |
(2) That if they do not request that the student's directory information be withheld from some or all recruiters by the thirtieth day of the new school year, the school may release the student's directory information if requested to do so by a recruiter; and |
(3) Of the obligation of all males between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five years to register with selective services within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday and information regarding how to register. |
