We are so excited to see that 53 school districts across New Mexico have adopted financial literacy graduation requirements! That's more than 54% of New Mexico's public school student population! ๐ŸŽ“๐ŸŽ“

We believe that every student in New Mexico deserves a standalone course in financial literacy, to better prepare them for their financial futures. If your school district is listed below, contact your school board member and urge them to adopt financial literacy graduation requirements! ๐Ÿซ๐ŸŽ’

____________________________________________

Here's some talking points you can include in your letter/email to your school board member:

1) Financial literacy courses teach students critically important life skills, like budgeting, saving, investing, credit scores, and the costs of borrowing.

2) Research shows that students who complete these courses are more likely to save money, invest money, create budgets, and seek out lower-cost forms of credit.

3) Students also share the knowledge they receive with family members and friends, and they graduate better prepared for financial decision-making in the workforce or college.
