What the local records say

New Prague homeschool nonpublic-aid reimbursement

What the record says: New Prague Area Schools says resident homeschool families may submit the optional Student Report for Aids to Nonpublic Students when requesting financial aid, then submit eligible receipts for testing and instructional supplies through Community Education.

Amount or support: $138.43 current Minnesota Department of Education FY27 reference rate per eligible full-time K-12 student for textbooks, standardized tests, and individualized instructional materials; health and secondary guidance services use separate rates. This is a capped, receipt-based process, not an unrestricted education account. New Prague's official homeschool page confirms a financial-aid option, a Student Report for Aids form, and a receipt-based reimbursement step, but the page's posted calendar is still labeled 2025-26.

How to read it: Published amount, formula, credit, or transportation reference. The mapped local area is New Prague Area Schools.

Conditions to verify:

• The family must submit the Minnesota Student Report for Aids to Nonpublic Students by the district's published deadline, generally October 1.
• Materials must satisfy Minnesota's secular, neutral, nonideological, individual-use, public-school-availability, and current-year rules; itemized receipts and proof of payment are required.
• The MDE rate is a capped reference amount. The district approves eligible items and may issue a check, purchase materials, or pay a provider under the current process.
• The page lists October 1, 2025 for the aid form and June 1, 2026 for receipts. Treat those as the posted prior-cycle dates and confirm the next cycle before relying on them.
• New Prague's separate online education option is public enrollment and is not included in this reimbursement route.
