Title: Military Recruitment Provisions Under the No Child Left Behind Act: A Legal Analysis
Authors: Jody Feder, American Law Division 
Abstract: Under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA) of 2001, which amended the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), high schools that receive federal funds must provide certain student contact information to military recruiters upon request and must allow recruiters to have the same access to students as employers and colleges. Because the 110th Congress is likely to consider reauthorization of the ESEA, legislators may contemplate changes to the military recruitment provisions, either as part of the reauthorization or as stand-alone legislation. Currently, two bills, H.R. 1346 and S. 1908, have been introduced in the 110th Congress. This report describes the NCLBA military recruitment provisions and discusses the legal issues that they may raise.
