REVISED
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS27619 / SCR128
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.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no requirement to expend funds. Some financial institutions offer a variety of software programs
and other curricular materials through grants to Idaho schools. Costs of instruction will vary for each level of
education, choice of program, and schedule. Costs also will vary and are voluntary.
