SB 950 Economics education & financial literacy; requirement in public schools, etc.
Introduced by: H. Russell Potts, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)
Economics education and financial literacy in the public schools and institutions of higher education. Requires instruction in economics education and financial literacy in public middle and high schools. The Board of Education is required to develop and approve objectives for economics education and financial literacy in grades six through 12. The principles of the American economic system and financial literacy must also be systematically infused in the Standards of Learning, and in career and technical education programs. However, these objectives are not required to be included in the Standards of Learning assessments. In addition, to provide for experiential learning and practical application of economic and financial literacy principles, public schools may establish on-site banking programs for students. In addition, public institutions of higher education must make provisions for the promotion of the development of student life skills through inclusion of principles of economics education and financial literacy within an existing general education course, the freshman orientation process, or other appropriate venue. The provisions of §§ 22.1-200.02 and 22.1-208.2:3, which provide for instruction in certain mathematics and finance objectives, and the Banking-at-School Partnership Program, respectively, have been incorporated in this bill and have been repealed.
