Hibriten High School may release Directory Information about students including name, address, telephone listing, date and place of birth, participation in school activities, height, weight, class rank of athletic team members, dates of attendance, degrees and awards received and school last attended. Such information will be available for release unless the parent or student over age 18 requests that such information be withheld.
Parents or eligible students have the right to object to the release of directory information or challenge the accuracy of the information by informing the school principal in writing. If dissatisfied with the principal’s decision, the parent or eligible student may appeal to the Superintendent.
Effective July 1, 2002 the Hutchinson Act passed by the U.S. Congress requires schools to provide all juniors and seniors’ names, telephone numbers and addresses to military recruiters unless the parent or eligible student notifies the school in writing within 20 calendar days from the date the Directory Information notice was distributed through this student/parent handbook. If a student or parent requests that directory information be with held, it will not be released.
If no objection from parent or eligible student is made, the schools are obligated to release student directory information to military branches. Military recruiters may then contact students and provide them with armed forces recruitment information.
