Frederick County Public Schools provides, on request made by military recruiters or an institution of higher education, access to secondary school students’ names, addresses, and telephone listings unless a parent or eligible student has submitted a written request that the student’s name, address and telephone listing not be released without the prior written consent of the parent or eligible student.
If parents or eligible students do not want Frederick County Public Schools to disclose their student’s name, address, and telephone listing to military recruiters or an institution of higher education without first obtaining written consent, the parent or eligible student must notify FCPS in writing within thirty (30) days the first day of school or within thirty (30) days of enrollment if the student starts after the first day of school. Paragraph B and C of the Directory Information Opt-Out form should be completed and submitted to the student’s principal.
The school division provides military recruiters the same access to secondary school students as is provided generally to post-secondary educational institutions or to prospective employers of those students.
