FORMS

Opt-Out forms are not all the same. Be careful that your school district DOES NOT block distribution of your child's information to colleges or any other post-high school situation other than the military. In the NYC example, you have three different options. If your local high school doesn't give out opt-out forms, CREATE ONE ! Using your schools letterhead, paste it on the body of the a form that you like and hand them out where ever students congregate. They should be returned publicly or by certified letter... It's The Law!

If you have any questions or or feel that we can in any way help you... contact us!
