Financial literacy is key to a young person’s future success.
Today, I signed legislation requiring statewide standards in consumer education. This paves the way for our public high schools to provide young people with the skills they need to achieve their financial goals.

As we move into the beginning of a new school week, we would like to share this message with students.
FYI:
@GovRaimondo announced today that the state is recommending that high schools shift to their limited in-person plan after Thanksgiving, for two weeks.
We’re giving our district leaders the ability to make that change if it works best for their education community.
