Relative to protecting student privacy. Education.

AI Summary

This bill aims to protect student privacy by requiring schools to provide notice to students and their parents or guardians that they can request their name, address, and phone number not be released to military recruiters. The bill also mandates that public schools using the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) test choose the "Option 8" score reporting option to prevent the general release of student information to military recruiters. Schools must notify students and parents about these ASVAB information release requirements, while allowing students or their parents to authorize the release of their personal information and ASVAB scores to military recruiters.
