SUBJECT LINE: Unbiased Financial Education in (INSERT SCHOOL OR DISTRICT NAME)

 

BODY:

​

Hi [INSERT NAME OF DISTRICT OFFICIAL],

​

My name is (INSERT NAME HERE). I am a community member and a financial education advocate. I’m reaching out to you to discuss the need for (INSERT SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE) to prioritize unbiased, high quality financial education for our high school students, giving them access to the skills they need to navigate personal finance decisions as adults.

 

In an increasingly complicated global economy, every high school student across the country should have access to a single semester of financial education that focuses on educating students rather than on marketing and promoting brands. It should empower them to:

 

+ Examine the financial system and the players within the system

+ Understand the personal and external factors that influence financial decisions

+ Make informed financial decisions + Be critical, well-informed consumers, not pliant customers

+ Advocate for systemic changes that can improve their quality of life

 

An education should prepare every student to succeed in a changing world, but our students can’t understand if they aren’t taught using a curriculum that provides them with an objective view of the financial landscape. Not everyone starts life on the same financial playing field and an unbiased, high-quality financial education, offered in [DISTRICT or SCHOOL], will ensure every student has the skills to navigate the financial system with a critical eye and the appropriate tools they need to make informed decisions about their own individual financial goals.

 

If you are interested, I would love to meet with you to further discuss the benefits of an unbiased financial education curriculum for (INSERT SCHOOL DISTRICT HERE).

 

Please let me know if you have availability in the next two weeks. If you would like to give me a call, I can be reached at (INSERT NUMBER HERE). Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing back from you.

 

Best, [INSERT EMAIL SIGNATURE HERE]
