# Policy Committee Meeting - October 6, 2026

The Faribault Public Schools Policy Committee met October 6, 2026, to review policies; no procurement, contracts, or budget actions were identified. The committee discussed a policy provision requiring employee licensing information to be reported by race and ethnicity, with members noting that the reporting requirement is tied to state law. The motion on that policy passed 4–1. Policy 506, Student Discipline, is reviewed annually; a proposed addition referencing the U.S. Constitution was discussed, and the committee tabled the policy until the approximately scheduled February 2, 2027 meeting to obtain further legal information.

The committee considered forwarding Policy 508, Extended School Year for Certain Students with IEPs, and Policy 536, Special Education Records and Records Retention, to the school board without changes. It also considered an optional cooperative arrangements policy related to the Minnesota State High School League; concerns were raised about the league’s requirements, but the motion passed 4–1. The committee reported no policy revisions or new policies for the meeting.
