What it is and who needs it.
What the private school bond actually covers
Minnesota licenses private career schools through the Office of Higher Education under Minn. Stat. ch. 136A. No license issues unless the school files a continuous corporate surety bond conditioned on the faithful performance of all contracts and agreements with students — that is the core promise of Minn. Stat. 136A.822.
The bond runs to the State of Minnesota and to any student with a cause of action for breach of a contract or agreement made by the school. If a school takes tuition and fails to deliver the training, or closes mid-program, harmed students can recover against the bond.
The amount is 10% of the preceding year’s net revenue from student tuition, fees, and other required institutional charges, but never less than $10,000; a school operating at multiple locations may combine revenue across locations. This is the corporation version — the corporation is the principal. Enter the figure the office calculated; pricing starts from $100, and the application collects no credit information.
