| To: | All Senate members |
| Subject: | Education Opportunity Accounts for Military Families |
| In the near future, we plan to reintroduce legislation that will create Educational Opportunity Accounts (EOA) for military families. All children – especially those whose parents are serving our country – deserve an excellent education. We believe parents know best and should choose the education that best suits their child. Military families face unique challenges when it comes to education, as these families are often relocated. Military EOAs help combat 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 existing state per pupil education subsidy. 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, 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. |
Introduced as SB263
