April 23, 2023 Group Watch: House Passes High School Financial Literacy Requirement
The Alabama House passed a bill that would send high school graduates into the real world with a deeper understanding of financial literacy and personal money management. The bill, if approved by the Senate, would implement the standards in ninth-grade classrooms during the 2024-2025 school year. The legislation in its current form specifies the State Board of Education would require high school students to complete a course in personal financial literacy and take an examination before graduating.
