What the local records say

District 196 homeschool nonpublic-aid reimbursement

What the record says: District 196's current Homeschool and Nonpublic Education page publishes a Minnesota aid reimbursement request for resident homeschool students and a separate receipt form for eligible purchases.

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.

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 district page says the aid request form is due October 1 and receipts are due April 30 for purchases made July 1 through April 30; confirm the active annual forms before applying.
• The district retains ownership of items purchased through the aid process, so this is not unrestricted parent-directed cash.
