     In Minnesota, home educators are addressed in MN Statute 120A.22 (as amended), which requires that the local public school district be notified of your intent to home school by October 1st of each year.

     Although no particular form is required to make the notification, MACHE has developed a form for home educators to use that includes all of the legally required information, without including unnecessary additional information. Please see October Reporting Form at bottom of page.

     It is our perspective that including information that is not legally required is not only unnecessary, but could be invasive and possibly lead to additional information requirements, which we oppose. We encourage all home educators to be fully aware of the legal requirements for home education in Minnesota.

     A full copy of the statute and an interpretation of it may be found in the MACHE Member Handbook, which can be obtained from MACHE upon becoming a member.

     The handbook, updated annually, also includes information and resources vital for successful home education.
