Financial Literacy Update

LBA recently meet with the leadership of the Louisiana Workforce Commission suggesting that the work they do in training and placing workers could include a financial education component to help them manage their money when in the workforce.  They were very positive about implementing this component and LBA will help them get underway.  The LBA is also working with the Jump$tart coalition in working on curriculums that will assist teachers as they implement the new requirement that public schools include financial education in their curriculum.
