Jr. ROTC Forces Districts To Abandon Local Control Of Curriculum and Staff

• Find out if a JROTC unit is coming to your community

High School ROTC is a military program run by the military in public and private high schools. The military retains control of the curriculum and must approve any and all instructors. This completely violates the principle of local control. Some local officials may say differently, but they have no power to change the national regulations.

Because women make up only 13% of officer ranks and a lower percentage of NCO ranks, this pool, even before screening by the certification board, is disproportionately male. To create the final list, the certification board then screens out any gay/lesbian/bi or disabled potential applicants. This pre-approved hiring is a flagrant violation of non-discrimination codes.

Additionally, none of these retired officers have to have any educational training or academic teaching certification. The NCOs are not even required to have a college degree.

The military career academies cede even more control to the military. The final section of the regulations for Army Career Academies, states: "DoD retains coordinating authority for the overall Junior ROTC Career Academy Program, including the direction and control of the individual academies."

The Military Dictates the Curriculum

"... the governing authorities of this school agree as follows: a. To provide a course of military instruction prescribed by the Army..."

• from Application and Contract: Establishment of a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps Unit

"The complete course of JROTC/NDCC instruction at any school participating in these programs will be prescribed by DA (ed. note: Department of the Army) (para 5-2c). JROTC/NDCC units will not be established or maintained at schools that do not administer the prescribed course of instruction."

• from AR 145-2 Section 5-12.a

"The School must enter into an agreement with CNET per Appendix 2, and agree to: a. Provide a program of instruction prescribed by CNET of either a 3-year, or 4-year course at secondary schools (9th-12th grades)." (In article 502.a CNET mandates 48 hours of Military drill per year).

• from CNET 1553, article 202

The Military Must Approve All Instructors

"Only instructors authorized by this regulation will conduct JROTC/NDCC programs. ... Only instructors whose qualifications and subsequent performance are approved by the region commander will be authorized. Application by the individual or by the school for this approval will be considered to constitute a de facto agreement to the conditions prescribed in this regulation. Continued association with the JROTC/NDCC program is contingent upon the individual meeting these conditions." from AR 145-2, Section 6-3

"To employ a minimum per unit of one retired officer as the Naval Science Instructor (NSI) and one retired officer or enlisted person as the Associate Naval Science Instructor (ANSI) whose qualifications are approved by the Chief of Naval Education and Training to administer and instruct the NJROTC program of instruction." from CNET 1553, Appendix 2, section 2.b.

Schools Are bound by the Contract and the Regulations

"A school that desires to establish a JROTC unit must agree to the terms of the contract in appendix A (DA Form 3126, Application and Agreement for Establishment of a Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps Unit) and conditions prescribed by this regulation." from AR 145-2 Section 2-5

"The JROTC and NDCC are national programs authorized by laws enacted by Congress and conducted by the Department of the Army in cooperation with educational institutions." from AR 145-2 Section 1-2.

Unless otherwise stated, all quotations are from Army Regulation AR 145-2, or Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) Instruction 1533.9H, the federal regulations governing Army and Navy High School ROTC programs.
