Conditions to verify:

• The family must submit the district's Student Report for Aids to Nonpublic Students by the district's published deadline, generally October 1, and select participation in the aid program.
• Purchases must satisfy Minnesota's secular, neutral, nonideological, individual-use, public-school-availability, and current-year rules; receipts and proof of payment are required.
• The published per-pupil rate is a maximum reference amount. The district approves eligible items and may issue a check, purchase materials, or apply the current state process rather than provide an unrestricted allowance.
• The district page describes the educational reimbursement rate but families must complete the required state and district forms; the rate is not automatic without participation.
