Beginning in the 2011-12 school year, state law mandates that Free Enterprise will not be a graduation requirement for incoming ninth graders. These students will take a full year of civics, which includes an economics component as well as a unit of financial literacy. We believe economics and financial literacy are important ingredients of developing responsible citizens and that each deserve a place in the high school curriculum. Help us get these courses back in Louisiana's high schools by contacting your state representative and senator to encourage them to act!
In the meantime, we will continue to offer support to teachers, grades K-12, with materials and lessons that incorporate economics throughout the curriculum. We look forward to working with civics teachers as they now must be prepared to include elements of economics and financial literacy in their civics classes.
