AI Summary
This bill amends the "Quality Basic Education Act" in Georgia to allow students to fulfill their high school graduation requirement for a financial literacy course in ninth or tenth grade, in addition to the previously allowed eleventh or twelfth grade. The "Quality Basic Education Act" is a state law that sets standards for education in Georgia, and this change means students will have more flexibility in when they complete this half-credit course, which teaches essential money management skills and can count towards math, social studies, or elective credits. This provision will take effect for the 2026-2027 school year.
