Grade A for the Class of 2026. In March 2022, the governor signed into law a bill (SB 1054) that revised the topics required to be included in the state's financial literacy education standards. The bill also requires that beginning with students entering grade 9 in the 2022–2023 academic year (the Class of 2026), students must earn a half-credit (a half-year standalone course) in personal financial literacy and money management in order to graduate from high school. Accordingly, the bill reduces the current number of elective credits required to earn a standard high school diploma from 8 to 7.5 credits.
