Grade A for the Class of 2028. In March 2023, West Virginia passed a law that requires, beginning with the class of students entering 9th grade in the 2024–2025 academic year, that each high school student shall complete a half-credit course of study in personal finance during their 11th or 12th grade year as a requirement for high school graduation. The law requires the State Board of Education to develop and issue implementation guidance to local school districts as to curriculum, content matter standards, eligible teacher certification(s), and graduation requirements the course may fulfill before July 1, 2024. The Class of 2028 would be the first class to graduate with the new requirement.
