> Good afternoon, Your public records request, submitted on July 28, 2026, under N.C.G.S. 132-1 et seq., made it to my desk last week. Gates County Schools does not offer a dedicated, credit-bearing K-8 personal finance course distinct from the embedded financial literacy standards within social studies. Students complete a personal finance course for credit in high school.
