Rethinking Financial Education to Support Diverse Cultures
RETHINKING FINANCIAL EDUCATION TO SUPPORT DIVERSE CULTURES A synopsis of the policy convening discussion held on February 11, 2021 FOREWORD In early 2021, the National Endowment for Financial Education® (NEFE®) and the Council for Economic Education (CEE) convened a series of virtual policy discussions to explore issues surrounding the state of financial education. Stakeholders across the country gathered to discuss challenging aspects of the financial education field, with the goals of: Encouraging intentional approaches to financial education policy and practice that focus on evidence-based strategies, are informed by the right stakeholders and drive toward meaningful impact. Developing research questions that, if answered, could inform and advance the field. Facilitating spaces for individuals to network across agency and organizational sectors, making financial education conversations more connected. Each convening consisted of presentations from industry leaders, large-form discussions and small group brainstorming sessions. This summary captures the major discussion points and themes we heard during this event. NEFE and CEE acknowledge that we don’t have a complete view of the challenges discussed in any of the convenings because of the limits of participant perspectives. These conversations are simply a start. RETHINKING FINANCIAL EDUCATION TO SUPPORT DIVERSE CULTURES: EVENT OVERVIEW This convening, the last of the series, provided an overview of inherent biases that exist in financial education, with specific references to Black and Latino communities. Anne Price, president of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development, moderated this conversation centered around the ways financial educators adjust financial education content in real time to be more culturally relevant, especially financial education concepts that are less resonant in Black and Latino communities.

Issue 38 September 20, 2019 FIRST BUDGETS REPORTED
Volume XXXI - Issue 38 September 20, 2019 FIRST BUDGETS REPORTED – With the deadline for budget approval only 10 days away, legislators began reporting budgets out of their respective Conference Committees with the School Aid/K12 budget passing both chambers yesterday. MHSA has had extensive discussions with legislative and budget leaders and our understanding is that all budgets will be sent to Governor Gretchen Whitmer next week for her consideration. We expect Governor Whitmer to use her line item veto power to veto numerous items in the proposals but retain enough of the budgets for the state to remain open at the end of the fiscal year, which is Monday, September 30th. Once the 2019-20 Fiscal Year begins October 1, the Governor and Legislature will continue budget talks, and work to pass supplementals restoring the Governor’s priorities left out of the enacted budgets. They will also aim to settle any differences on items that were vetoed by the Governor. As of Thursday, the following budgets were reported from Conference Committees and are poised for adoption next week: Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS): One of the most anticipated budgets each budget season, the DHHS budget was approved 5-0 by the Conference Committee, with one Committee member abstaining. Under Senate Bill 139, proposed funds for Fiscal Year (FY) 2019-20 is $26.4 billion, an increase from current year totals of $25.5 billion. The largest allocation within the budget itself is for Medicaid, totaling $13.7 billion for expenditures. However, for the Healthy Michigan Medicaid expansion section, a $94.5 million increase is proposed, to total $4.08 billion.
