Military recruiting Opt-Out deadline

I got this in a PPS school newsletter and thought I'd pass along the information.
Military recruiter opt-out:

School districts are required to provide the name and address of all junior & senior students to military recruiters, unless the parent or student informs the school that they do not want that information provided to recruiters. Students can make their own decision that they do not want their name and address provided to military recruiters. If you are a junior or senior & do not want your name and address released to military recruiters, please inform the school office no later than Friday, Oct. 17. Lists of those who have already opted-out and blank opt-out forms are available in the main office.
