Congressman Murphy visits childhood center in Jacksonville
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. (WNCT) — Congressman Greg Murphy visited the Thompson Early Childhood Center in Jacksonville Friday.
The center is provided funding through the Impact Aid Act that reimburses public schools for lost money related to being near non-taxable property like military bases.
Payments from the act are for the schools to use for operations and education materials for military-connected students and students with disabilities.
Congressman Murphy toured the facility and met students, teachers and Onslow County Schools officials to discuss how Congress can continue to help military-connected schools.
'I had a wonderful visit to Thompson Early Childhood Center to meet its bright students and dedicated teachers and discuss how Impact Aid is helping them thrive,' Congressman Murphy said. 'Military families make many sacrifices in service to our country and the quality of military-connected students' education should not suffer because of the challenges that come with the lifestyle. I am proud to support this critical funding that improves outcomes for so many young minds and appreciate the stellar job recipient schools are doing.'
