Directory Information

Only directory information regarding a student shall be released to any person or party, other than the student or his/her parent, without written consent. 

This directory information is used in school publications, yearbooks, activity and athletic programs, television productions, websites, as well as inquiries from community partners, other schools, and potential employers. In addition, the Academy is required by law to provide military recruiters with the same access to directory information as is provided to prospective employers. 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law, and Jackson Preparatory & Early College Board Policy allow my school or school district to disclose designated “directory information” to third parties, unless a student’s parent or legal guardian opts out. 

Why Would a Parent or Guardian Submit this Form? 

Parents or guardians should complete this Directory Information Opt-Out Form if they do not want some or all of the directory information listed above shared with third parties. Following submission, the Academy will verify submitted information against parent or guardian information in the Academy's official Student Information System and will make appropriate adjustments for all verified requests
