The line item for the Marine Corps JROTC line item was $86,000 for FY12. For that price we are getting national prestige and even in one class, a national champion, There is not much argument that it is money well spent. The self discipline learned by the students involved provides an invaluable foundation for growth. The pride felt by the whole student body, the faculty, the entire city of Lynn is priceless.
BUT......
I have a couple of questions, 1) Since we have 4 high schools (don't forget Facteau-Leary), do we have equivalent programs in the other schools? 2) What is the Marine Corps contribution to the program?
There is another line in English's budget for $4500 for ROTC expenses while the line for athletic supplies is only $7300. I don't know the numbers but I would like to know the comparative ratio of the dollars spent per student.
