EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
<p>The Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC)&nbsp;is sponsored by the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and based at Chamberlain High School. The length of the USMC JROTC program in which students are enrolled ranges from one to four years. The program prepares cadets to lead positive, productive and rewarding lives by teaching them personal responsibility, enhancing leadership skills and enabling them to learn the value of teamwork. The partnership we established with the United States Marine Corps has been successful and we are pleased that the quality of our graduates provides an incentive to the United States Marine Corps to continue our long mutually beneficial relationship. This standard Memorandum of Agreement&nbsp;is necessary to fulfill our obligation to fully train USMC JROTC cadets. This Agreement is for a period of five years and will be reviewed/updated during the fourth year for compliance of the terms. The United States Marine Corps Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps requires the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida to be the first signature on the Memorandum of Agreement.</p>
