Relating to the inclusion of instruction in personal financial literacy in the required curriculum for public high school students.
SB 1672 requires Texas public high schools to offer at least one mandatory course focused on personal financial literacy, with at least two-thirds of the course time dedicated to topics like budgeting, debt management, and investing. This policy directly affects all public high school students in Texas, beginning with the 2025-2026 school year. The bill mandates the State Board of Education to adopt rules ensuring this curriculum requirement is implemented. It does not change existing graduation standards but adds a specific financial literacy component to required coursework.
