More than half of U.S. states have enacted policies to expand financial literacy education in schools with kindergarten through grade 12 (K-12) with the goal of improving students' financial literacy skills. Although financial literacy education can be key to building long-term financial capabilities and well-being, more information is needed on how to effectively design state-level financial literacy education requirements. In this report, we examine the implementation of Nevada's financial literacy requirements in grades 3 through 12 using data from a teacher survey, focus groups, interviews, and financial literacy programs. We describe several key takeaways from the implementation process and recommendations for strengthening financial literacy education in K-12 schools. This report should be of interest to state policymakers, education leaders, teachers, and those working to advance youth financial literacy.
