Starting with incoming freshmen in the Class of 2030, all students in Hawaiʻi public schools must successfully complete a financial literacy educational opportunity prior to graduation and document completion through their Personal Transition Plan (PTP). Schools may meet the requirement through a variety of instructional approaches, including a standalone elective course, integration into existing courses, self-paced learning options, or other instructional designs that align with HIDOE’s financial literacy program standards.
