Seattle Public Schools: Alternatives to Military Recruitment - Equal Access-

E14.03 Revised SEP 2005

PROCEDURE

When high schools permit military recruiters to speak with students regarding military career opportunities, the school must provide equal access for organizations that wish to counsel alternatives to, or provide additional information about, military service. If literature encouraging military service is displayed for students to read or pick up, groups counseling alternatives to military service may similarly display their literature.

Organizations that must be given equal access under this procedure include those organizations that promote post-high school service opportunities, such as the Peace Corps and Americorps, as well as organizations such as the American Friends Service Committee, Sound Nonviolent Opponents of War (SNOW), Washington Truth in Recruiting (WaTIR), or other such organizations that wish to present information regarding military service.
