Turf Wars: School Administrators and Military Recruiting
Lagotte, Brian W.
Educational Policy, v28 n4 p547-577 Jul 2014
Although a decade has passed since passage, few have noticed that section 9528 in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandates schools to assist military recruiting. This article focuses on administrators' responsibility to inform parents of their privacy rights and the struggle to manage recruiting in schools. I highlight two conclusions with policy implications. Although parents and school staff speak as adversaries regarding military recruiting in public high schools, they are both accurate in their positions. Furthermore, recruiters are overly aggressive in schools, resulting in stress for staff or a strategic move to isolate individuals who become liaisons with the military.
