Bill Summary
To enact sections 3313.907 and 3317.166 of the Revised Code to designate a JROTC or NDCC program offered by a school district as a career-technical education program.
AI Summary
This bill designates Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC) programs, which are approved by Congress, and National Defense Cadet Corps (NDCC) programs, approved by a military department secretary, as career-technical education programs within school districts. This means that these programs, which are part of the United States Code and involve training for national defense, can now be officially recognized and funded as career-technical education. The Department of Education and Workforce will be responsible for determining how these JROTC and NDCC programs fit into existing career-technical education funding categories, ensuring that school districts offering these programs receive appropriate financial support.
