Faribault board approves changes to non‑affiliated employment agreements; one trustee votes no and another abstains
Summary
The board approved updates to Non‑Affiliated Administrative, Operations, and Family Support Specialists employment agreements for 2025–2027. Minutes list five trustees voting in favor, one voting against (Trustee Moore) and one abstaining (Trustee Boudreau); the minutes also record adoption of a polling‑places resolution and other procedural votes.
At its Dec. 1 meeting the Faribault Public Schools Board of Education approved changes to the Non‑Affiliated Administrative, Operations, and Family Support Specialists Employment Agreement covering 2025–2027. Trustee Chad Wolff moved the measure and Trustee Jerry Robicheau seconded it.
The minutes list the individual trustee positions on the motion: Trustees Candace Knudson, Jerry Robicheau, Casie Steeves, Chad Wolff and John Bellingham voted in favor; Trustee Linda Moore voted against; Trustee Lynda Boudreau abstained. The minutes also include a parenthetical summary that initially describes the motion as passing 6-1, an inconsistency compared with the detailed roll-call in the same line of the minutes. The document does not provide the text of the contract changes or dollar amounts for compensation adjustments.
In the same meeting the board adopted Resolution 26-07 establishing combined polling places for certain school district elections; that resolution was recorded as passed unanimously by roll call. Earlier procedural items recorded in the minutes include approval of the consent agenda and agenda flexibility, both approved by motions recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: These employment‑agreement changes govern terms for a category of non‑affiliated staff, including administrative and family support positions, and will affect employment conditions over the 2025–2027 term. The minutes record which trustees opposed or abstained but do not include the specifics of the contract language or financial impact.
What’s next: The minutes list follow-up and calendar items (Facilities Committee Dec. 11, Joint Boards Dec. 12, and organizational meeting Jan. 5). The clerk signed the minutes as approved on Jan. 26, 2026. The minutes do not contain the contract text or a full financial breakdown; those details were not specified and should be requested from district administration for further reporting.
