$250,000 FOR FINANCIAL LITERACY (H 4800)

By Bob Katzen

The House 154-4, overrode Gov. Healey’s veto of the entire $250,000 for a grant program to school districts to support the implementation of financial literacy courses and standards for students in kindergarten to grade 12, including training and developing programs to assist teachers in incorporating appropriate financial literacy concepts into classroom curriculum. The Senate did not act on the veto.

“I am vetoing this item to an amount consistent with my House [budget] recommendation,” said Gov. Healey. “Other sources of funding for financial literacy appropriated in this budget will mitigate the effects of this veto.”

(A “Yes” vote is for the $250,000. A “No” vote is against it.)
