NJROTC

The presentation at the board meeting emphasized what many would perceive was the positive attributes of the program. What I am concerned about is the cost.Almost three hundred thousand dollars of cost above what the feds contribute to run this program for a small number of students.There are many excellent programs that do not receive this kind of monetary support.I would like to see this program continue with a smaller impact on the budget.

The money this program receives is absurd. This is a federal program and the feds should pay for it. Why are the instructors on LEA contracts if they are not certified teachers? Why are there two instructors with class sizes of only 15 students? CAPA, CIP, and the Career Center are all excellent programs that do not receive this kind of monetary support. It does'nt seem fair.
