Despite some objections from various educators, a bill requiring NC schools to add what will be known as a personal finance class cleared the final hurdle in the state's General Assembly.
The approval which came from the house on Thursday sends the measure to Gov. Roy Cooper for his signature. Identical mandates for a personal finance course are also included in the state's budget bill, which will provide a $500 stipend for each teacher that completes what is being called a professional development course to teach personal finance.
