Kids going into high school next year could have to take a class on credit, investing, insurance, and money management in order to graduate.
A State senate panel will hold a hearing this week on a plan to require a financial literacy class. The idea, supporters say, is to make sure young people have the proper financial mindset when they are done with high school. Schools across the state don’t have a problem with the idea of teaching financial literacy, but they do oppose another mandate from the state legislature.
