Urges the Department of Education to include financial literacy teaching in the existing personal transition plan course requirement for all students.

Calls for consistency in financial literacy course content across all Department of Education high schools.

Notes that the Department of Education currently offers financial literacy as an optional elective rather than a required course.

Identifies lack of financial literacy as a barrier to students achieving financial prosperity and stability in adulthood.

Requires transmission of certified copies of the resolution to the Superintendent of Education and Chairperson of the Board of Education.
