NCACPA CHAMPIONS FUNDING FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY

In a letter to state lawmakers, NCACPA called for full funding of financial literacy instructor training in the state budget. NCACPA led the effort in 2019 to pass a law mandating the Economics and Personal Finance course for high school students, but a breakdown in budget negotiations that year meant that no state funds went to professional development for teachers of the course. The General Assembly would later approve an appropriation of more than $1 million for this purpose in the 2021 Appropriations Act.
