Title: Better Education Opportunities for the Military Kids
Topic: Educating Military Kids

Discussed by Peter Murphy
with Invest in Education Foundation (www.investineducation.org)

Part 1 of 2

Our nation’s security and the education of its children are two critically important issues that coincide with the need to ensure quality educational opportunities for children of active-duty military. Recent studies have found that providing additional education alternatives for children of military families can contribute to their quality of life and ultimately the retention of needed, experienced personnel.

New guest, Peter Murphy, will be discussing Impact Aid, Education Savings Accounts, and HR5199 and how it can help.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

What is the average age of our active-duty military personnel?

While serving, are active-duty military personnel often re-assigned to other areas of the country and internationally? What affect does this have on the children?

What is “Impact Aid”? Does this include Education Savings Accounts?
