Regular Board Meeting - October 19, 2026

Faribault Public Schools regular board meeting, October 19, 2026. The board approved an amended 2027 ice arena agreement with the Faribault Ice Arena Association. The amendment removed a conflicting restriction and allows the district to subcontract or assign its rights under the agreement, provided it informs the association. Board members discussed managing and selling unused ice time to help recoup costs while preserving opportunities for local youth hockey; no dollar amount was stated. The finance report also cited cash and investments of about $19.6 million and monthly interest earnings of $28,500. Staff identified dated curriculum resources and said a proposal for secondary curriculum resources may be brought to the board later; no curriculum purchase was approved at this meeting.

The board also added and considered a resolution supporting a proposed Minnesota State High School League amendment concerning girls’ sports eligibility. The transcript’s roll-call record of the final vote is incomplete, so the outcome is unclear. The consent agenda, which included authorization of payments and employment items, passed 5–1; no specific procurement details or amounts for those items were provided.
