MN Dept. of Education

In an effort to assist Minnesota districts in providing targeted programs and services to help all students succeed, districts are required by law to request more detailed student ancestry or ethnic origin information beginning with the 2019-2020 school year. All of the questions in bold are federally mandated to be filled out. However, if you as a parent or guardian refuse to do so, federal law required the school to choose for you to the best of their ability. All questions not in bold are optional and if you refuse to fill those out the school will NOT choose for you.
