Chamber Passed·2/25/26

Ohio HB500 designates JROTC programs as career-technical education programs.

Ohio HB500 amends the state's Revised Code to allow school districts offering a junior reserve officer training corps (JROTC) program approved by the U.S. Congress to designate it as part of their career-technical education program. This designation affects funding calculations for career-technical education programs. The Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, along with lead districts, must approve these JROTC programs as career-technical education programs.
