# Cologne Academy *Minnesota charter school in Cologne, Carver County* **Cologne Academy** is a charter school in Cologne, Carver County, [[Minnesota]], with an enrollment of about 731 students. The project's Carver County claims-exposure matrix lists it as one of two charter schools in the county. The other is [[World Learner School]] in [[Chaska]], with about 210 students.[^1] As a Minnesota charter school, Cologne Academy is statutorily eligible for building lease aid under [[Minn. Stat. § 124E.22]]. That statute reimburses charter rent at the lesser of 90% of approved cost or a per-pupil ceiling.[^1] The matrix records that whether either Carver County charter school receives this aid, and in what amount, "could not be retrieved from any published dataset", and marks the item NOT FOUND.[^1] The record therefore shows what the statute provides. It does not show what the statute has paid to this school. The pack does not establish the school's founding date, its governance, its operating history, or who enacted or amended § 124E.22.[^1] ## Who Cologne Academy is a Minnesota charter school. It is one of two charter schools the Carver matrix places inside Carver County.[^1] ## What The school's appearance in the record concerns eligibility for building lease aid under § 124E.22. Receipt of that aid, and its amount, are not established by any published dataset the matrix could retrieve.[^1] ## Where The school is located in Cologne, in Carver County, Minnesota.[^1] ## How many The matrix gives enrollment as about 731 students.[^1] It gives about 210 for World Learner School.[^1] ## In the at-issue record At-issue pair AI-Carver-083, from the Carver package's claims-exposure matrix dated 2026-09-02, sets the two charter schools' statutory eligibility for lease aid beside the absence of any published recipient-level figure.[^1] The pair names its sources as a record source and a statute, on the domains nces.ed.gov and revisor.mn.gov.[^1] The pair is anchored to a March 2025 White House presidential action on protecting the nation's funds against fraud, waste and abuse.[^2] The pair's stated reason for that anchor is "a statutory rent subsidy whose recipient-level data is not publicly readable".[^1] The pair makes no allegation about Cologne Academy's conduct. Its finding is the absence of published data on the aid.[^1] ## Notes [^1]: Minnesota wiki project, *AT_Issue_Carver_Claims_Exposure_Matrix_2026-09-02*, at-issue pair AI-Carver-083 (2026-09-02) — two Carver County charter schools (Cologne Academy, about 731 students; World Learner School, about 210); statutory eligibility for § 124E.22 lease aid and its reimbursement rule; receipt and amount NOT FOUND; sources named as nces.ed.gov and revisor.mn.gov (no URL for either in the pack).
