Preserving JROTC Programs Act
This bill amends U.S. Code to lower the minimum student enrollment required for high schools to establish or maintain a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program, reducing the threshold from 100 to 50 students. It directly affects high schools seeking to start or sustain JROTC units, particularly those with smaller student populations. The key provision changes the existing requirement under Title 10, U.S. Code, making it easier for schools to qualify for JROTC participation. This is a straightforward policy adjustment to existing law, with no additional funding or program changes specified.
