Military Recruiters Get Personal Student Information from High Schools

ABC Local

August 30, 2007

A local organization is informing students that they can
prevent that from happening.

Thursday morning the Central Valley Counter Recruitment Coalition
handed out flyers at several high schools including Fresno High
School in Central Fresno.

Organizers say there is a form students can use to keep their contact
information private from the military.

Scott Keys, CVCRC, says, "It's really about helping them understand
this, rights imbedded in the No Child Left Behind Act."

Organizers say the act allows the information to be released. They
say they want students to know about it and that they have the option
to opt out.

They also say students are not required to take a military readiness
test which can release their contact information.
