File Attachment:
Summary: B.J. Singfield, Paloma Valley High School's NJROTC Instructor, has submitted a request to send fifty (50) cadets and four (4) adult chaperones to represent Paloma Valley High School at the NJROTC Nationals at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida, that will be held March 29-April 5, 2022. The PVHS NJROTC qualified to attend the Nationals in Pensacola, Florida. This year is the fifth time in the history of the PVHS NJROTC program in which they rated an invitation to Nationals in Florida.

The NJROTC Nationals remain the most comprehensive test of overall JROTC training and performance in existence today. This year, many of the nation's finest NJROTC units from each of the eleven Navy Areas will make themselves a part of this exciting academic, athletic, and drill competition. No competition in the world of JROTC provides a better test of overall program quality and esprit-de-corps than the "Navy Nationals."

The schools selected to attend are nominated by their Navy Area Managers, usually based on top finishes at area/state-level competitions with similar rules and guidelines or possibly vital programs with a hunger to compete against the best.

Transportation will be arranged via airplane. The group will fly from Los Angeles Airport to New Orleans, Louisiana. A charter bus paid for through the NJROTC Program Office will provide transportation to the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.

This is an overnight field trip of five nights, with fifty (50) students and four (4) adult chaperones. Transportation will be provided via District bussing from Paloma Valley High School to the Los Angeles International Airport, then via charter transportation as mentioned above. All expenses will be paid from the NJROTC ASB Account and student fundraising.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2021-22 operating budget funded through Paloma Valley High School's NJROTC Associated Student Body Fund, not the General Fund.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the Board of Trustees approve the out-of-state field trip request for Paloma Valley High School NJROTC cadets to attend the Navy National Academic, Athletic, and Close Order Drill Championships in Pensacola, Florida, March 29-April 5, 2022.
