Economic and financial literacy education grant and teacher development activities provisions and appropriation

SF 2118 allocates $800,000 annually for 2026 and 2027 to fund economic and financial literacy education in Minnesota public schools. The bill provides grants to the Minnesota Council on Economic Education to support professional development for K-12 teachers implementing financial education standards, develop curriculum resources, and run student programs. It specifically targets teachers in grades 9-12 delivering personal finance instruction and requires annual reports detailing training participation, program content, and research on program effectiveness. The funding directly affects Minnesota teachers and students by expanding access to financial literacy education resources and teacher training.
