Relating to public high schools; to require students to complete a personal financial literacy and money management course before graduation
With its connection to National Curriculum Standards, The CEO Program was designed to be integrated into classroom instruction to help members apply learning and connect to financial literacy and entrepreneurship. The CEO Program teaches students the basics of money management: budgeting, saving, debt, investing, giving and more. This type of knowledge lays a foundation for students to build strong money habits early on and avoid many of the mistakes that lead to lifelong money struggles.
