keep JROTC in SF

JROTC has been a part of us for many generations. There are numerous benefits and skills that students in high school can learn and use in life. JROTC mainly teaches students skills involving leadership, team cooperation, organization, communication, coordination, and many of which that cannot be taught in academic classes or from reading a textbook. JROTC has given students the opportunity to learn these skills as well as practice them. JROTC is DIFFERENT FROM ROTC.

On the behalf of all the 1600 students in JROTC currently, families of the JROTC members, students that had plans to join JROTC, friends, teachers, and recent graduates of the San Francisco public high schools, we have put together this petition to support JROTC.

We do not and should not delay this any longer and deny the skills that the future generations can learn from JROTC. Please support! Thank you.
