Resolution supporting and recognizing the importance of the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps program and encouraging the San Francisco Unified School District to continue to provide high school students the opportunity to participate and ensure the program is preserved as currently constituted.

This resolution expresses the City and County of San Francisco's support for the Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program within the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). The resolution highlights the program's long history in SFUSD (over 90 years), its current operation in six high schools (Balboa, Galileo, Lincoln, Lowell, Mission, and Washington) serving over 900 students, and its curriculum which teaches leadership, citizenship, and life skills. It notes that JROTC is a voluntary program that does not recruit for military service and that its costs are shared between the Army and SFUSD. The resolution acknowledges past efforts to phase out the program, voter approval of Proposition V in 2008 to keep it available, and recent growth in enrollment. It encourages SFUSD to continue offering JROTC, ensuring its full operational status and adequate funding to maintain the required instructor staffing levels.
