Abstract: RAND researchers conducted a study that aimed to fill the information gap on how to successfully implement a statewide financial education mandate by studying the implementation of Nevada's 2017 financial literacy education reform. The study focused on the reform enacted by the Nevada Legislature in 2017, Senate Bill 249, which required that financial literacy education be implemented in third through 12th grade starting in the 2017-2018 school year. RAND researchers examined the following research questions to better understand Nevada's financial literacy reform and potential implications for strengthening financial literacy reforms more broadly: (1) After the 2017 Nevada mandate, how was financial literacy education implemented in schools?; (2) What were the main barriers and facilitators to financial literacy implementation across Nevada's schools?; and (3) How do educators, leaders, and policymakers perceive financial literacy education in Nevada?
