How can a student or parent stop a school from handing over the student’s information to the military?
To keep the military from getting information about a particular student, the student or a parent should submit a request to the school, in writing, stating that the school should not give the student’s information to the military. The school should give students and parents a form for this purpose and an explanation of their right to have information withheld, but it should also honor any other kind of written request. The law provides schools with significant leeway as to how to give students and parents the opportunity to withhold student information, but it does require schools to provide that opportunity in some way. The part of NCLB containing this mandate is as follows: [T]he local educational agency or private school shall notify parents of the option to make a request [not to release information] and shall comply with any request. NDAA has an almost identical provision. Each local educational agency can make its own form of notice and means of making a request not to disclose
