Summary
After a closed session held under attorney–client privilege, the Faribault school board approved a conciliation agreement releasing claims related to a discrimination charge.
The Faribault Public School District board moved into a closed session on Oct. 27 under attorney'client privilege, citing Minnesota Statutes §13D.05, subd. 3(b), to discuss a charge of discrimination. When the board reconvened, a motion to approve a conciliation agreement with release of claims was made and seconded.
Board Chair John Bellingham called for the vote; Director Linda Boudreau moved the motion. After a brief call for discussion, the board voted in favor and the chair announced, "All in favor of the motion signified by saying aye." When asked if anyone opposed, the chair said none; the motion passed.
The board did not discuss settlement terms in open session. The motion the board approved was described in public as a "conciliation agreement with release of claims." The board did not provide additional financial or other specifics during the public portion of the meeting.
