Success Sequence - USBE

R277-704-2 (7) "Success Sequence" means a three-pronged framework for youth and young adults that encompasses the values of:

       (a)  completing at least a high school education.

       (b)  obtaining full-time work; and then

       (c)  marrying before having children.

What does this mean for you? The Success Sequence is not officially in the General Financial Literacy Strands and Standards, but it will be when they are revised in 2027. Since it is included in Board Rule, we would like teachers to start incorporating the curriculum into their financial literacy courses this year. Success Sequence resources have been prepared for your use and will focus on the financial impact of the Success Sequence in students' lives. The focus of the relationship part of the Success Sequence (marrying before having children) will be addressed in 8th-grade and 10th-grade health courses. Financial Literacy teachers should focus on how marrying before having children impacts a person's finances.
