| Subject: | Military Family Education Opportunity Accounts (EOAs) |
| In the near future, we plan to introduce legislation to create Military Family Educational Opportunity Accounts (EOAs). These accounts will provide military families and their children with increased education resources. All children – especially those whose parents are serving our country – deserve an excellent education. I believe parents know best and should choose the education that best suits their child. Many military families face increased challenges when it comes to education, as families are often relocated. Military EOAs help combat this uncertainty and provide for a more stable learning environment where the parent is empowered to choose the best learning option for their child. EOAs are restricted use accounts, funded by a percentage of the state per pupil education subsidy. These scholarships will provide military families with maximum flexibility in their ever-changing lives. The accounts can be used for a variety of education-related expenses, including:
guardian is on full-time active-duty in the US Armed Forces, is a member of the National Guard and reserve on active duty, or was killed in the line of duty. Please join us in supporting military families by co-sponsoring this important piece of legislation. |
