Bill overview
This bill aims to improve financial education for New Jersey high school students by requiring them to complete a dedicated financial literacy course. Currently, financial literacy is taught in grades 6-8, but this bill expands it to include all high school students. The course will cover topics like budgeting, banking, taxes, and college planning, and must be taught by qualified teachers. Local school districts will be responsible for implementing these requirements and updating graduation standards.
