What the local records say

Osseo Area Schools homeschool nonpublic-aid reimbursement

What the record says: Osseo Area Schools states that homeschool students may request reimbursement by filing the state aid form by October 1 and submitting qualifying receipts to the district by the published deadline.

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. The district page still displays a prior $132.98 preliminary rate, so confirm the active FY27 amount with District 279 before relying on an exact figure.

How to read it: Published amount, formula, credit, or transportation reference. The mapped local area is Osseo 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; receipts and proof of payment are required.
• The MDE rate is a maximum reference amount. The district approves eligible items and may issue a check, purchase materials, or pay a provider under the current process.
• The Osseo page lists a May 1 receipt deadline and a prior $132.98 preliminary rate; verify the active school-year dates, rate, and form before applying.
