However, the district may disclose appropriately designated 'directory information' without written consent, unless you have advised the district to the contrary in accordance with district procedures. The primary purpose of directory information is to allow the Edgar School District to include this information in certain school publications. Examples could include such items as: a playbill, showing your student's role in a drama production; school yearbook; an honor roll or other recognition list; graduation programs; and sports activity sheets, such as wrestling, showing weight and height of team members. Directory information, which is information that is generally not considered harmful or an invasion of privacy if released, can also be disclosed to outside organizations without a parent's prior written consent. Outside organizations include, but are not limited to, companies that manufacture class rings or publish yearbooks.

The law requires a school district to notify a student of his/her right to opt-out by requesting that the school district does not release information to military recruiters. Students have the right to request that private information is not released to military recruiters. Students choosing to withhold private information from military recruiters should contact the high school office for an opt-out form'. The Edgar School District has designated the following information as directory information: •Astudent's name; * Photograph; * Participation in officially-recognized activities and sports; ■Height and/or weight, if a member of an athletic team; * Date of graduation; * Degrees and awards received.
