SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
These activities are an integral part of the JROTC curriculum. Approval of this calendar expedites the procedure for students to participate in related JROTC in-county and out-of-county activities at 22 high schools. The extent of participation is determined by available district funds and resources provided by the Armed Forces. In 2005/2006, 2,719 students participated in the program.
Through involvement in JROTC activities, students are able to make more meaningful career choices, reinforce occupational knowledge and skills, strengthen leadership capabilities, and improve personal attributes. Students gain from their participation in JROTC because of the recognition they receive, the confidence-building activities they undertake, and the opportunities to utilize practical and academic learning. Because JROTC integrates training and academics, our community views this program as a significant source of well-prepared young men and women.
