Military Information

To the Parents of Juniors and Seniors:

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law, requires that

Campbell County School District, with certain exceptions, obtain your written consent

prior to the disclosure of personally identifiable information from your child’s education

records. However, Campbell County School District may disclose appropriately

designated “directory information” without written consent, unless you have advised the

District to the contrary in accordance with District procedures.

In addition, two federal laws require local educational agencies (LEAs) receiving

assistance under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) to

provide military recruiters, upon request, with three directory information categories –

names, addresses and telephone listings – unless parents have advised the LEA that they

do not want their student’s information disclosed without their prior written consent.

These laws are: Section 9528 of the ESEA (20 U.S.C. 7908), as amended by the No

Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (P.L. 107-110), the education bill, and 10 U.S.C. 503, as

amended by section 544, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2002

(P.L. 107-107), the legislation that provides funding for the Nation’s armed forces.

If you do not want Campbell County School District to disclose directory information

from your child’s education records without your prior written consent, you must notify

the District in writing. Simply state that you desire not to have your child’s “directory

information” released to any military recruiter and return that statement to the office at Wright Junior

Senior High School.
