A South Carolina lawmaker is proposing a bill which would direct schools to give students some lessons in “adulting,” or at least give them a few pointers on personal finance. State Sen. Luke Rankin (R-Conway), who filed the legislation, crafted a bill that would require (http://www.fox46charlotte.com/news/bill-would-require-sc-high-school-students-to-take-a-personal-finance-class-in-order-to-graduate) high school students to take a one-half credit course in the subject of personal finance and pass a test at the end of the year to graduate.
If the legislation passes the statehouse, lawmakers will direct (https://kdvr.com/2019/01/13/south-carolina-bill-would-require-high-schoolers-take-personal-finance-class/) the state’s Department of Education to develop curriculum for the course by July 1, 2020, before the requirement takes effect for students at the start of the 2020-2021 school year.
