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

Requests that the Department of Education ensure consistency in financial literacy course content across all Department of Education high schools.

Notes that while the Department of Education offers a financial literacy elective course, it is currently not required for all students.

Identifies lack of financial literacy as a barrier to financial prosperity and stability, emphasizing need for students to learn money management, credit, and debt management skills.

Directs certified copies of the resolution to be sent to the Superintendent of Education and Chairperson of the Board of Education.
