Dave Ramsey’s team is in the building.

At Bullitt East, Ramsey initiated a video with Amanda Comstock to be shot in her financial literacy class.

A businessman, author, financial counselor, broadcaster and motivational speaker, Ramsey created Ramsey Solutions in order to help others through troubling financial situations. Many people that work with Ramsey came up from Tennessee to shoot videos around Kentucky about the benefits of financial literacy.

Having first-hand knowledge of both falling and rising from financial debt, Ramsey counsels others in person, through broadcast or on television. Ramsey has written the book, Financial Peace, and created his own financial broadcast, originally The Money Game, now The Dave Ramsey Show to get his message across.

His organization, Ramsey Solutions, was created in 1992. According to the Dave Ramsey website, their mission states, “Ramsey Solutions provides biblically based, common-sense education and empowerment that give hope to everyone in every walk of life.”

Impressed with the class of financial literacy and how they integrate many of Ramsey’s lessons, many people who work with Ramsey traveled all over Kentucky to film and speak with teachers and students on their experience with the class curriculum. On Thursday, the team came to Bullitt East. “While they were here I found out that there are 8,000 schools across the U.S. that uses their curriculum and Bullitt East was only one of three that was selected to be in the video,” said Comstock.

Overall, his team recorded shots of the class and filmed interviews with teachers and students. “(Bullitt East students are) amazing. We have loved hearing the stories and meeting a lot of the students and hearing from their perspective what it’s meant to them to actually learn how to handle their money and they all just have such great stories,” said the Director of Marketing for Ramsey Education, Jacqueline Garneau.

The video will show the benefit that the class has on students who are soon to be graduating. “We heard about Mrs. Comstock and about how she is teaching financial literacy here at this school and how great that’s going and we just really believe that financial literacy is so important. And then she shared with us just how much the students are enjoying it, so we just wanted to come down. And the reason we’re making the video is that so other schools across the country can just see the benefit of schools teaching financial literacy,” said Garneau.

The video is set to be released on April 2, when their company is launching a brand new website focused on their educational section. “April is national financial literacy month, so they are going to launch the website April 2 and the video is supposed to be on the homepage,” said Comstock.
