SB1188

Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps: home instruction, independent study, and private schools.

Chamber Passed·5/22/26

SB1188 allows homeschooled, independent study, and private school students to join JROTC programs in California.

SB1188 amends the Education Code to ensure equal access to Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) programs for homeschooled, independent study, and private school students in California. Local educational agencies must provide these students with the same opportunities as those enrolled in the school offering the JROTC program. The Department of Education will make information about JROTC programs available on its website and provide annual implementation guidance to local educational agencies.
