>>Bill Would Create Educational Opportunity Accounts for Military Families
(Harrisburg, PA) -- A new bill introduced in the state senate this past week would allow military parents to spend educational opportunity account money on tuition for nonpublic schools. Senate Bill 999, sponsored by Senators Doug Mastriano and Ryan Aument would create similar educational opportunity accounts to expand school choice for military families. The accounts would be funded by the state per-pupil education subsidy. The bill would also allow military parents to spend the money on higher education, distance learning and other expenses for nonpublic schools
