California voters will decide whether to include personal finance in high school graduation requirements, as another initiative has been added to the ballot.

The secretary of state announced May 8 that a ballot measure requiring a personal finance course to be offered in public high schools and charter schools beginning in 2026 and requiring students graduating in 2030 to complete a one-semester personal finance course has garnered enough signatures to qualify for the November ballot.
