     4  notice  to  each  student  and to the parent or guardian of each student
     5  enrolled in the school district that, in accordance  with  federal  law,
     6  the  student  or  the parent or guardian of the student may request that
     7  the student's name, address, and telephone number  not  be  released  to
     8  military recruiters. This notice shall:
     9    (i) be included in a clear and conspicuous manner and in the same size

    12  or parent or guardian of the student; and
    13    (ii) request that the student or the parent or guardian of the student
    14  indicate  whether  the student's name, address, and telephone number are
    15  to be released  to  military  recruiters  by  checking  either  the  box
