On-Campus Recruitment

The Board of Education (Board) will inform, at the middle and high school level, students and parents/guardians of the availability of (1) vocational, technical and technological education and training at technical high schools, and (2) agricultural sciences and technology education at regional agricultural science and technology education centers.  The Board of Education will set a cap for enrollment following, at a minimum, statutory guidelines. 

Subject to the provisions of law, all recruiters, including commercial, military and nonmilitary concerns, recruiters representing institutions of higher education, and prospective employers shall be provided equal opportunities of access to students enrolled in the district's secondary school(s).

The Board shall also provide access for the recruitment of students by technical high schools, regional agricultural science and technology education centers, interdistrict magnet schools, charter schools and interdistrict student attendance programs, provided such recruitment is not for the purpose of interscholastic athletic competition. The Board shall also post information about these school options on its website.

Access may be granted through programs conducted by the School Counseling Department.  Except as provided below, military recruiters and institutions of higher education shall, upon request, be given access to the names, addresses and telephone numbers of secondary school students.

On an annual basis, the school district will notify parents/guardians of secondary school students and students 18 years of age or older of their right to object to the disclosure of the student's name, address and telephone number to military recruiters or to an institution of higher education.  If a secondary school student who is 18 years of age or older, or the parent/guardian of a secondary school student objects in writing to the disclosure of a student's name, address or telephone number to a military recruiter or an institution of higher education, then the district shall not disclose the student's name, address or telephone number to a military recruiter or an institution of higher education without prior written consent.  The objection shall remain in force until the district re-issues the annual notification referenced above, after which time the parents and/or secondary school student must inform the school district in writing again of their objection to the disclosure of the information described above.
