Auditor General Timothy L. DeFoor joined Philadelphia School District officials, Philadelphia Financial Scholars, and state representatives to highlight how financial literacy can be integrated into educational curriculum for all Pennsylvania students. "The Philadelphia School District and Philadelphia Financial Scholars are showing schools across the Commonwealth how to successfully incorporate financial education into their curriculum, so students are prepared for life after high school," DeFoor said. "One of the keys to Pennsylvania's future success is for all of us to know where our money is going, and how it's being spent and invested. What has become clear is that this education needs to start while our kids are in school so they can become adults who are financially secure and fiscally smart."Speakers Include:Auditor General Tim DeFoorPrincipal of Martin Luther King High School Keisha WilkinsKerry Woodward, Philadelphia Financial ScholarsAbdourahim Sylla, 18, senior at Martin Luther King High School Representative Darisha Parker
