Regular Board Meeting - July 20, 2026

The Faribault Public Schools Board held a regular business meeting on July 20, 2026, where several procurement and budget-related matters were discussed and approved. Key procurement actions included the approval of a bid contract with CJC Construction for the Jefferson renovation project, funded by a capital facilities grant, with the project scope adjusted to fit budget constraints. The board also approved the 10-year Long-Term Facilities Maintenance (LTFM) plan, which outlines maintenance and capital improvement projects across district schools, including tuckpointing, mechanical system updates, and building envelope repairs. Additionally, the board approved the hiring of a grant-funded Minnesota Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) coordinator position to support district-wide instructional and behavioral interventions. The meeting included acceptance of significant community donations, including a $30,000 annual gift from the Petra Foundation supporting the Little Falcons program. Policy revisions related to medical leave, copyright use, grant guidance, and crisis management were also approved, which may influence future district operations and procurement. Overall, the meeting focused on facility improvements, grant-funded staffing, and policy updates to support educational and operational goals.
