Financial literacy curriculum; require State Board of Education to create for all MS students in Grades 6-12.

HB 797 requires Mississippi's State Board of Education to create a financial literacy curriculum for all public school students in grades 6-12, to be implemented by the 2026-2027 school year. It mandates that every public high school student complete a half-credit personal finance course (during grades 10-12) to earn a diploma. The bill establishes a Financial Literacy Trust Fund in the state treasury to support this education, allowing private contributions, grants, and state/federal funds, with unspent balances rolling over annually. This directly affects all Mississippi public school students and school districts by adding a new graduation requirement and funding mechanism for financial education.
