Bill > S07257

This bill requires all public and private schools in New York to provide financial literacy education to students in grade eleven. The bill specifies that the curriculum must cover topics such as taxes, student loans, credit cards, budgeting, and retirement planning. Schools are given flexibility in determining the specific order, method, and structure of the curriculum, but the Department of Education and Board of Regents are tasked with ensuring that the required topics are adequately covered. The bill also directs the Commissioner to provide sample instructional materials and resources to support the implementation of the financial literacy requirement.
