If you refuse, you must file written notification to this effect with Unified School District No. 450 at 4401 SE Shawnee Heights Road, Tecumseh, KS on or before September 1 each year. If a refusal is not filed, USD No. 450 assumes you have no objection to the release of the directory information designated. Recruiting information: Military recruiters and institutions of higher education are entitled under federal law to a list of names, addresses, and telephone numbers of high school students unless you object to the release of this information. If you notify your principal in writing at any time that you do not wish your child’s name, address, and telephone number released without your written consent, the school and district will honor that request.
