20. The big district in our area prohibits them from recruiting such as this.
They can be on the school grounds after school, but they would not be allowed in the building during school hours and certainly not in a classroom. NCLB doesn't open recruiting wide open like this - if this is the school's own policy, then the OP has a choice to try to restrict the contact down to the absolute minimum. NCLB just makes the parent's opt out of any contact with the military- iirc, it is up to the school districts to decide how much contact the recruiters have.
