[Counselors] Personal Financial Literacy

[OSRHE EPAS PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We have it at high school only, at this time.
When it is included in another class, we make sure the form is completed and ensure the required statement is on the high school transcript. The student does not receive an extra credit and the course is not listed on the transcript, it does complete the requirement. (Then, of course, the student can take it as a separate class, for grade and credit.)

Our school takes it in the middle school years to meet the requirement.  No gpa added and only listed as a requirement met on the notes section of our transcript with date completed

We offer to Jr. High also, contained within a class.  We don't offer separate credit for it, whether it's taken in Jr. High or High School. We do count it for our checklist as having been taken before Graduation. It is contained within a class at the High School level as well.  if a student has not taken it by the Senior year, they will have to take it separately, but it still does not count as credit, and can be finished in 1 semester. Therefore, it is never part of the GPA. It is documented on the transcript in the phrase on Notes, as having been completed.

Subject: Re: [Counselors] Concurrent/Dual Credit

I have questions about PFL:
We offer PFL (Personal Financial Literacy) at our middle school for 7th & 8th graders.

Should that be counted in the hs gpa? Should it be counted as a hs credit? Can it be considered as meeting a hs requirement, but NOT be given credit nor counted in the gpa?

I was wondering how other schools handled this issue.
