Schools in hot water over pre-checked enrollment forms:
"The San Diego Unified School District Board of Education Tuesday night ordered staff to investigate pre-checked forms that authorized the release of student records to military recruiters.
The forms were part of an enrollment package filled out by high school students and their parents.
The matter was brought to the board’s attention during public comments on an agenda item about how schools were treating students.
Speakers expressed concern that the implications of the question probably slipped past most parents.
One student told board members that a question on future plans had college pre-marked for pupils at Mission Bay High School, and military already selected for those at Lincoln High School, which is located in a less affluent part of the city."
