Changes in Minnesota homeschool law

  There are big changes this week in Minnesota homeschool law. MACHE has a good explanation on its website. (click here)
  Basically, it reduces the reporting requirements without giving up the state aid money homeschoolers can get for books. E-books are now included, too.
  We'll have more in our August newsletter. Here's a note from newsletter editor Shana:

Newsletter deadline approaches;
Please contribute!
  One of the most important aspects of homeschooling is our homeschool community. It is our community that is there for us when we need support, friendship, and advocacy. In the Twin Ports Northland CORE volunteers work to make our homeschool community just that much stronger, and provides opportunities to bring homeschool families together.
  We want to make Northland CORE better than ever, but to do that we need all of you. We are looking for a couple of things. One, and maybe most importantly, we need some fantastic volunteers to serve on our board and to help with events and activities in the upcoming year. If you are passionate about homeschooling and want to see the Twin Ports homeschool community grow and thrive please contact me about volunteering with CORE!
  Second, we need ideas for ways to help our homeschool community in the upcoming year. Is there something that you'd love to see happen? Are you planning an event that you need to get information out about? Would you like to submit an article for the CORE newsletter? Again, please email me!
  To contact me my email address is: shanajo@gmail.com
  The deadline for submissions to the next CORE newsletter is August 8th.
  I hope you all are having a wonderful summer!
