Personal Finance Course Update_May 23_24.pdf
Background: At its regular meeting of May 2021, the Board approved the proposed revisions to Administrative Policy 7.37 requiring all high school students to take a one-semester personal finance course to prepare them to be college-and-career ready.

The graduation requirement began at three schools - Riverside University High School, Alexander Hamilton High School, and Green Tree Preparatory Academy - starting with the graduating Class of 2026. Remaining high schools have been added each semester, ensuring all MPS high schools are now offering the course.
This report will provide an update on the progress of the personal finance course including:

• Summary data and course highlights
• Review of teacher professional development
• Events and engagement strategies
• Next steps in the implementation process
