Establishes provisions relating to personal finance curriculum requirements for public school students
Second Read and Referred S Education Committee
Summary
The bill creates a statewide personal finance curriculum covering topics like budgeting, credit, taxes, and investing. Every school district must ensure each student completes a half‑unit of personal finance after ninth grade to graduate, with waivers for out‑of‑state transfers or counselor‑approved exceptions. The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education will form a work group to set performance standards, which the State Board will adopt and review every seven years.
