Stating findings of the Legislature and encouraging Idaho high schools, colleges, and universities to offer credit-bearing personal finance classes to their students.

Personal finance is an important educational subject, providing information which will impact daily living and decision making for the rest of a student's life. Our Idaho schools currently offer a patchwork of opportunities for personal finance instruction, with no statewide consistency in frequency, duration, content, or instructional methods. This resolution supports the creation of credit-bearing financial literacy classes at the high school, college, and university levels.
