Enhanced Military Recruitment: More School Access and Student Data Sharing.
This law aims to boost military recruitment by significantly increasing the presence of recruiters in high schools and colleges. It mandates that educational institutions share academic grades, and the Selective Service share broader contact information, including email addresses, with military services. Graduates from schools with high enlistment rates will receive priority consideration for military academy admissions.
Key points
Schools must provide military recruiters with "meaningful access," including frequent visits (at least 4 times per year) during peak school hours and in high-traffic areas.
Schools are required to share academic grades, while the Selective Service System must provide updated contact information, including email addresses.
Students graduating from high schools with above-average military enlistment rates will receive priority consideration for admission to US military service academies.
The first week of April is designated as the National Week of Military Recruitment.
