Personal Finance comes to SFUSD
The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) is the first district in the state of California to apply for and receive a California Access to Financial Education Grant (CAFE) grant, which will allow its educators to fully integrate financial literacy curriculum in high schools. The grant is offered in partnership between State Superintendent Tony Thurmond and the nonprofit Next Gen Personal Finance (NGPF) to support teachers in California high schools to deliver financial literacy courses.
The curriculum includes relevant topics around savings, budgeting, paying for college, taxes and investing. Some of the curriculum is currently used in some SFUSD math and economics courses and can now be adapted into semester or year long Personal Finance elective classes.
The personal finance lessons will also be integrated into the College and Career curriculum district wide and utilized by AVID (Advance via Individual Determination) teachers throughout 9th -12th grades.
