What it is and who needs it.
What the records bond actually covers
Minnesota licenses private career schools through the Office of Higher Education (OHE) under Minn. Stat. Chapter 136A. Separate from the performance bond that protects student tuition, Minn. Stat. 136A.822, subd. 12 provides for a student records-retention bond — required when a school does not have a binding agreement in place to preserve its records.
The records bond runs to the state of Minnesota and funds the work of retrieving, recovering, maintaining, digitizing, and ultimately destroying academic records if the school closes. Minnesota requires academic records to be preserved long after a student attends, so the state needs a funded way to take custody of them on a closure.
The statute sets the amount at not to exceed $20,000, with the exact figure set by the OHE. This is the corporate-principal version — the school entity is the named principal. Enter the amount on your notice and we issue the bond at a flat 3% with no credit check.
