RELEASE OF DIRECTORY INFORMATION

The Board of Education recognizes the importance of maintaining the confidentiality of
directory information and therefore authorizes the release of such information only in
accordance with law, board policy and administrative regulation.

The Superintendent or designee may release student directory information to
representatives of the news media or nonprofit organizations in accordance with Board
policy and administrative regulation.

The Superintendent or designee may limit or deny the release of specific categories of
directory information to any public or private nonprofit organization based on his/her
determination of the best interest of the student. (Education Code 49073)

Colleges and prospective employers, including military recruiters, shall have access to
directory information. Military recruiters shall have access to a student’s name,
address, and telephone number, unless the parent/guardian has specified that the
information not be released in accordance with law and administrative regulation. (20
USC 7908; 10 USC 503; Education Code 49603)

(cf. 6164.2 - Guidance/Counseling Services)

making entity, other than employers and prospective employers. Private schools and
colleges may be given the names and addresses of the 12th grade students and
students who are no longer enrolled provided they use this information only for
purposes directly related to the institution’s academic or professional goals. (Education
Code 49073)
