Ohio's credit unions saw a need for financial education before the Bill was passed and created MoneyAndStuff.info to assist educators with lesson plans and other classroom activities for kids and teens.

Amended Substitute Senate Bill 311, also known as the Ohio Core, requires integration of economics and financial literacy within social studies classes or another class. Listed below are frequently asked questions about financial literacy requirements under this law.
Specifically, the law specifies:
"Each school shall integrate the study of economics and financial literacy, as expressed in the social studies academic content standards adopted by the state board of education under section 3301.079 of the Revised Code, into one or more existing social studies credits required under division (C)(6) of this section, or into the content of another class, so that every high school student receives instruction in those concepts. In developing the curriculum required by this paragraph, schools shall use available public-private partnerships and resources and materials that exist in business, industry, and through the centers for economics education at institutions of higher education in the state."
