15-142. Access to directory information
relating to pupils and to school property
A. If the governing board of a school district permits the release of directory
information relating to pupils or permits access to school buildings, school grounds or
other school property to persons who inform pupils of educational or occupational
opportunities, the governing board shall provide access to directory information relating
to pupils and to school property on the same basis for official recruiting
representatives of the militia of this state and the armed services of the United States
for the purpose of informing pupils of educational and occupational opportunities
available in the militia and the armed services.
B. Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, pupil transcripts shall not be
released to representatives of postsecondary institutions, the militia of this state or
the armed services of the United States unless the pupil consents in writing to the
release of the pupil's transcript. The governing board of the school district shall
provide the pupil with a transcript release form that allows the pupil to designate in
separate check boxes whether the transcript is to be released to postsecondary
institutions, the militia of this state or the armed services of the United States, or to
any combination of these entities.
C. This section shall not be construed to authorize school districts to release
information that would violate the family educational and privacy rights act of 1974 (20
United States Code section 1232g).
