    Kansas Board Rejects Giving PE Credit for JROTC

    TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Kansas schools will continue to decide individually whether to allow students to knock out a physical education requirement by participating in junior ROTC.

    On Tuesday, the Kansas Board of Education rejected a new rule that would have given students one PE credit for completing two years of junior ROTC.

    Kansas students are required to earn one physical education credit to graduate.

    Material provided to the board says 20 Kansas schools offer junior ROTC. But some give no physical education credit for the program, while others offer JROTC students a half or full PE credit.

    Advocates said the change would have made it easier for students to fit JROTC into schedules already packed with required classes. Opponents argued physical education and junior ROTC have different goals.
