Board adopts 2026 School Board Member Handbook after split votes on amendments

Faribault Public Schools Board of Education · April 20, 2026

Summary

The board adopted the 2026 School Board Member Handbook; an amendment to add 'measurable' to superintendent evaluation language passed, while motions to strike salary language and alter committee assignment language failed.

The board considered and ultimately adopted the 2026 School Board Member Handbook on April 20, 2026. During debate, the board moved to add the word "measurable" to the sentence about the Superintendent Evaluation Committee setting measurable goals; that amendment passed unanimously, 6-0. A separate motion to strike the handbook language setting board salaries ($325 per month for directors; $400 per month for the chair) failed on a 3-3 roll-call. Another motion to change committee assignment language failed 2-4. After those actions, the main motion to approve the handbook passed 6-0.

The minutes record the motions, vote tallies, and which board members supported or opposed specific amendments. The handbook approval will take effect as the district's guidance for board procedures and expectations.
