Redwood High School seniors will learn from advisers this week about how to pay their bills and keep to a budget.
A two-hour interactive lesson titled “Bite of Reality,” led by Redwood Credit Union and Ann Tepovich, an economics teacher who also teaches finance, will be offered to seniors on Thursday.
“Students are given a profession and income and through the simulation have to make spending and budgeting decisions,” Tepovich said. “Our hope with this activity is to reinforce lessons learned in our classrooms.”
Tepovich said Redwood is working on offering a full personal finance course in advance of the state Legislature’s mandate to offer at least a semester on the topic at every high school by the 2027-28 school year.
By the 2030-31 school year, at least one semester will be a high school graduation requirement under Assembly Bill 2927, passed into law last summer.
