Rep. Diana Farrington, R-Macomb County; audio on House passage of personal finance as a graduation requirement
Rep. Farrington talks about House passage Wednesday of her HB 5190, which would modify the Michigan Merit Curriculum to include successful completion of a half-credit course in personal finance as a graduation requirement. Currently, students must take two full credits of a language other than English to graduate. The bill would adjust this requirement to 1½ credits in conjunction with the new half-credit requirement for personal finance.
