Faribault school board approves higher monthly stipends after amendment passes 5-1
Summary
The Faribault Public School District board voted Jan. 5 to raise monthly director stipends to $325 and the chair stipend to $400 after an amendment to an amendment passed; the final vote on the main motion was 5-1, with Member Linda Moore dissenting.
The Faribault Public School District board voted Jan. 5 to increase monthly stipends for board members, approving $325 per month for directors and $400 per month for the board chair.
The board initially considered setting stipends at $275 per month for directors and $300 for the chair. Board Member Lynda Boudreau introduced an amendment to raise the amounts to $350 and $400, and then offered a secondary amendment that reduced the director amount to $325. The secondary amendment (the "amendment to the amendment") passed unanimously by roll-call vote, 6-0. The main motion as amended passed 5-1, with Boudreau, Candace Knudson, Casie Steeves, Chad Wolff and Chair John Bellingham voting in favor and Linda Moore voting against.
Board procedure followed standard motion and roll-call processes; the minutes record discussion before each vote but do not provide a transcript of individual remarks. The vote changes the compensation schedule for 2026 and will be reflected in board payroll and expense records.
No statutory or legal objections were recorded in the minutes, and the motion included both the initial proposal and subsequent amendments as part of the formal action. The board adjourned later in the evening after other business.
