Under the resolution approved by the school board, JROTC will be phased out in two years. Although an original motion required a task force to develop an alternative program, the board approved a substitute motion requiring that the money for salaries and benefits that supports JROTC — nearly $1 million this year — be redistributed in ways that support the district’s most disadvantaged students.
No word on whether those disadvantaged students would be teenage parents, but the district certainly offers them a lot of support.
Workforce Investment Act (WIA)A component of our TAPP programming, the Workforce Investment Act program invests in youth who are already heads of households, providing a pathway to family economic success by encouraging them to stay in school and make plans to continue on to higher levels of education or permanent employment. Addressing such barriers as childcare, transportation and other needs, WIA provides job readiness and occupational skills training, along with job placement, job retention, and job advancement skills both in-house and in collaboration with other organizations. Included in program services is a G.E.D. component.No fees are charged to participants.
