Policy Detail
This policy is established by the Board of Education to provide high school students with an appropriate way to obtain accurate information regarding potential careers, employers (including the military), and postsecondary educational opportunities, and to provide students convenient access to recruiters representing organizations which provide these kinds of opportunities. This is best accomplished by allowing recruiters access to high school facilities and students during the school day. Such access must be limited in order to maintain balance against the potential disruption to the greater educational mission of the school.
Employers are defined as recognized companies that offer structured employment or internship opportunities to high school graduates.
General meetings or recruiting events will be limited to two per school year with principal approval and will take place in a location specified by the principal. In addition, recruiters will be allowed to conduct meetings during the non-instructional periods of time within a school day with those students who have expressed an interest. All meetings and events referenced above will be limited to the counseling office, career center, or specific designated locations. Distribution and posting of written literature will be allowed as determined by the school principal or designee.
Evening career fairs or other recruiting events scheduled outside of school hours shall not count toward the two-day limit for a specific recruiting entity. Classroom teachers may schedule organizational recruiters as career awareness activities, and such activities also shall not count toward the two-day limit for a specific recruiting entity.
All military recruiters, postsecondary institutions and prospective employers shall be treated uniformly with regard to the conduct of on-campus student recruitment. A schedule of recruiters visiting the district's high schools will be announced to the student body in advance by each school's guidance office through publications and/or by posting on bulletin boards.
High School Parents' and Students' Right to Refuse Disclosure of Personal Information to Military
Upon request and in accordance with applicable law, the district/ school will release high school students' names, addresses, and telephone numbers to military recruiters. The district will release this information within 90 days after a request is made and may seek reimbursement for the costs of complying with the request..
The district will annually inform high school students and their parents in the Jefferson County Public Schools Conduct Code and Related Policies Guide for Parents and Students and the student handbook from individual high schools of their right to request that the district not release their student information to military recruiters. In addition, an Opt Out form is available as an attached exhibit to this policy and a copy of the form will be included in all registration materials at all high schools in the district.
Students or parents are allowed to opt out of the release of information to military recruiters by filing a written statement with their high school. Any opt out statement, whether from a parent or a student can be done at any time during the year and will be effective for the remainder of the student's time in Jefferson County Public Schools.
After a request to opt out is made, the district will not release the student information to military recruiters unless the district has received subsequent written parent consent to rescind the opt out and release the student information.
If the test known as the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) is used, high school staff will take reasonable steps to ensure that no student who has an opt out form on file will participate in the ASVAB testing.
