Important Law Changes: Maintaining and Submitting Documentation and Scores

Changes in 2011 to Minnesota's Compulsory Instruction law, Minnesota Statutes, instructions do not need to submit calendars or report cards to superintendents while they are still homeschooling.

However, state law requires home instructors to maintain information on curriculum, instruction and all required testing (including annual and supplemental tests, proof of testing administration and scores). This information, including scores, must be submitted to public schools when enrolling as public students after homeschooling. It also must be submitted to county attorney if requested related to Compulsory Instruction or educational neglect cases.
