Grade A for the Class of 2028. In May 2023, the governor signed into law a bill that requires high school student to successfully complete a personal financial responsibility course prior to graduation. This new requirement will take effect with students who are expected to graduate from high school in 2028. The law specifies the financial literacy topics required to be covered in this course. High schools must offer the instruction in this course as a separate subject. The law also provides that the state board may allow the course to satisfy one or more diploma course requirements for graduation. Each school is required to certify to the Department of Education that the student has successfully completed the personal financial responsibility course before the student may graduate.
