AI Summary
This bill revises the requirements for the Next Generation Sunshine State Standards (NGSSS) to include financial literacy standards, which must establish specific curricular content for personal financial literacy and money management. It also amends the requirements for a standard high school diploma in Florida. Beginning with students entering grade 9 in the 2017-2018 school year, students must earn one-half credit in personal financial literacy and money management, which includes instruction on various financial topics such as banking, credit, taxes, and savings. Additionally, the bill requires school districts to develop and offer coordinated electives that provide opportunities for students to earn college credit or industry certifications.
