Dear Parents/Students:

 

A Federal law called the No Child Left Behind Act requires that we provide the names, addresses and telephone numbers of all secondary school students to those military recruiters and institutions of higher learning who request the information and be released and requires us to comply with such a request.

 

If you do not object to the school releasing this information to military recruiters and institutions of higher education, you do not need to do anything further.  If, on the other hand, you do not want the school to release to either military recruiter or institutions of higher education or both, please fill out the form below stating your wishes and return it no later than September 2, 2008 to Laura Rogers Principal , Oyster River High School,

55 Coe Drive, Durham, NH 03824.

 

Signing the form does not prevent a parent or a student who is 18 from consenting to the release of such information at some later time.  (Students under 18 can object to the release of information, but only a parent or a student who is 18 can thereafter consent to the release of the information.)

 

The law also requires that we provide military recruiters the same access to secondary schools as we provide to post secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers of those students.  Since we allow post-secondary educational institutions and prospective employers to meet with our students at school, we will allow military recruiters the same privilege.  However, no student will be required by the school to meet with any of these representatives.

 

This release applies only to release of information to military recruiters and institutions of higher education.  Only directory information which does not include address and phone numbers can be released to other groups under the districts Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)

 

If you have any questions please feel free to call Principal Rogers at 868-2375.
