Executive Summary
The Director of Secondary Programs and K-12 Mathematics, on behalf of the Superintendent of Schools, hereby requests the Board approval of the adoption of the Personal Financial Literacy and Money Management textbook and authorize the purchase of material from Budget Challenge and Florida School Book Depository. A review team consisting of high school instructional personnel and district staff evaluated and selected this resource to support the newly required high school course. Beginning with students entering 9th grade in the 2023-2024 school year, Personal Financial Literacy is a graduation requirement as mandated by Florida Statute 1003.4282. The district must provide instructional materials aligned to this requirement to ensure all students receive high-quality financial literacy education.

Financial Impact
See attached budget sheet.
If expenditure is not currently budgeted, this will serve as the budget amendment when Board approved. If the agenda item includes the purchase of goods or services, the funds requested are an anticipated amount and may fluctuate depending on such factors as current market conditions, product availability, additional funding sources, and the needs of the District. Should the actual cost exceed the anticipated amount, the Board approves the additional cost, after review by the superintendent, but not in excess of the funds available in the site’s approved annual budget.
