Governor Lamont Signs Legislation Requiring Completion of Personal Financial Management Course to Graduate From High School

Press Release

"Personal financial management is one of the most important instructional tools that we can give young people to achieve economic independence and stability throughout their lives, and requiring it to graduate from high school is simply common sense. This course will help give every student a better shot at financial success, particularly those who are not fortunate enough to be given the opportunity or the resources to receive this kind of instruction at home. Financial education is as important as math, science, and reading. I am proud to sign this bill into law, and I thank the overwhelming majority of legislators who sent it to my desk."
