All public and charter schools are required under the No Child Left
Behind legislation to send the name,
address, phone of all 11th and 12th grade students to the military
recruiters. However, the School District is
also required by law to tell the children and their parents that they
may sign an "opt out" form to keep their
information private. Either the parent or student may sign.
Usually these forms are not given out uniformly and explained in
schools as they should be. By signing the form
a student is merely keeping her/his contact information private ( so
as not to be bombarded at dinner for example).
Please pass this information along to any students and their families
who would be affected by this. Below is information
directly from the School District web site under "students" (www.phila.k12.pa.us
). I have also attached the "opt out" form itself
from the School District site.
Thank you for helping to pass along this information.

How NOT to Have Student Name and Address Released to Military
Recruiters
For Students
Military Opt-Out Form: Students in Grades 11 and 12
The federal and state governments require that The School District
automatically release your name, gender, address, telephone number,
and school name to military recruiters (unless you fill out a student
opt out form). You may download this form (in English and in
translation) and directions on how to submit it by using the link
below. Please note that you may sign and return the form yourself
since a parent signature is not required. The signed form must be
returned to your advisor by October 23, 2009.
