What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill directs each school board to incorporate the state's model academic
standards for financial literacy into the curriculum in grades kindergarten to 12.
The bill also requires the statewide standardized examinations to assess a pupil's
financial literacy to the same extent that they assess a pupil's knowledge of
mathematics, science, reading and writing, geography, or history.
Finally, the bill requires that each institution and campus within the
University of Wisconsin System, and each technical college district board,
incorporate in its orientation program for newly entering students information on
financial literacy.
