The motion to adopt the boundaries passed by voice vote; board members and staff said the plan leaves current Jefferson and Lincoln students at their schools (grandfathering), redraws Roosevelt’s boundary between the two schools, and is intended to be cost neutral for transportation.

Why it matters: Attendance boundaries affect where students attend school, bus routes and classroom composition. The change is tied to a district reorganization and recent enrollment patterns, and staff said it preserves transportation costs while aiming for balanced enrollments.

Discussion and details
District staff presented a map showing how Roosevelt’s zone would be divided between Jefferson and Lincoln for grades 1–5. The presenter said the district worked with Faribault Transportation to draw lines that meet enrollment targets while keeping travel times reasonable for young students. \"When we spoke with Faribault Transportation, they said absolutely no more than 30 minutes on the bus for our youngest learners,\" the presenter told the board.

Staff said the boundary line running west‑to‑east into downtown remains unchanged; changes occur primarily in the Roosevelt area, plus a small section near the correctional facility and Highway 60 to meet enrollment targets. The presenter said the district left existing Jefferson and Lincoln students at their current schools so those families would not be moved.

Families, notification and transportation
The district said it is testing its student information and routing systems so families can see bus routes and pick‑up times online. The presenter said the district is integrating data between the district’s Infinite Campus student information system and Transverza (the transportation routing software used by Faribault Transportation) and expects to notify families by March.

Ending
Board members voiced support for the plan and for the district’s work with Faribault Transportation; the board approved the boundaries and moved on to a work session.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Faribault Public Schools Special Board Meeting | March 3, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Faribault Public School District Board on March 3 adopted new attendance boundaries that reassign parts of Roosevelt Elementary to Jefferson and Lincoln elementary schools, effective at the end of the 2024–25 school year.","taxTitle","FARIBAULT PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT, School Boards, Minnesota","taxId",38811,"location","Minnesota","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6276897,"Faribault board approves 2025–26 budget adjustments, shifts staff to support middle‑school math and special education",1280,329000,1609000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2658633-c023f5e0ce1909c45abb2bb3dbb4301f&start=329&end=1609","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2658633-c023f5e0ce1909c45abb2bb3dbb4301f/thumbnail_329000.jpg","/articles/6276897/Minnesota/Faribault-board-approves-202526-budget-adjustments-shifts-staff-to-support-middleschool-math-and-special-education","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6276897-a22bbbec3767a42e7a6946074f53296f/orig.mp4?Expires=1770570784&Signature=Iu8qzqkWRCTHYC2SVeQHjGoqYCGSvJFBqJ~6l2~RXs1d28cUBmY7EwfYJQvsQ3Z8Z4F2q0tarEIez5Pu24p7mojOIt1RzDsYWC-CeJ~voXny30w4OHHlWsDi-U~3kWO5hrowU1pWkFQkxRRG5Bt-zbghcv94owmt7Wv1l3dm9AdX5KWvmd6cA0CThuC8gMUohkMpYYNr4lgBtdki66CUDqnlI6uoY5nvHcmK-UEiVSLvbenirsYx8-G91Zoibg2MxgP8nD9IBbWewYP-tEPgf1bQ~drVODBGzLvYfKqGIR4pv~RTeoNg6QrDZgpophgYao8u0aIdCP4H13c4JzlM~A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Faribault Public School District Board on March 3 approved budget adjustments for the 2025–26 school year after a discussion about reorganization savings and targeted staffing additions.

The board approved the package by voice vote, 5-1. Board members described the bulk of the $794,200 in reductions as coming from a district reorganization and lower enrollment; enhancements focused on reducing elementary class sizes, expanding special education staffing and adding positions aimed at improving middle‑school math. District staff said the net effect is a $256,800 reduction to the general fund.

Why it matters: The adjustments reallocate existing positions and funding to prioritize students flagged by the district as most in need — younger students, growing special education enrollment and middle‑school math — while keeping an overall net reduction in place.

Discussion and details
District staff told the board the reductions total about $794,200 and come mostly from the reorganization, from shifting some positions to grant funds, and from changes tied to enrollment. \"The funding shift of an ex instructional coach, we were able to move that into our title funds,\" a district presenter said. The presentation listed specific reductions that the presenter described as reorganization savings, including elementary specialists and an elementary nurse.

Staff described several enhancements that together total about $537,000. Among them: two elementary teachers intended to reduce class size, two elementary special‑education teachers, one elementary DAPE teacher, seven elementary paraprofessionals and a middle‑school academic specialist paired with a math interventionist. The district said the academic specialist position would cost about $28,000 to the general fund and would be funded about 52% by an \"ADCSIS\" grant, as described by district staff.

On the interventionist positions, staff said the district is moving an elementary interventionist to Faribault Middle School; that change was described as cost neutral, with the $85,000 position removed from reductions and added back under enhancements as a wash. Julie, an interventionist who spoke to the board, said, \"Interventionists do work directly with kids. They work with small groups of kids on very specific instructional things ... to get them at grade level.\"

Board members pressed for evidence that the targeted additions would improve achievement. Board member Dr. Moore cited peer‑review literature and district results and asked whether internal or external research supported the changes. The superintendent said the district can provide both internal outcome data (from a ninth‑grade program the district previously ran) and external research. The superintendent also said the district planned to use FastBridge assessment data to assign students to targeted instruction groups and to align interventions with evidence‑based practices.

Implementation and next steps
District staff said many adjustments are effective in 2025–26 and explained which positions were reallocated, which were funded through grants, and which are additions to lower class sizes or respond to rising special‑education enrollment. The board voted to adopt the adjustments; staff will proceed with the personnel and funding shifts described in the presentation.

Ending
Board members said they supported the plan after the review, while some members urged future review by the finance committee and suggested monitoring outcomes. The meeting moved on to other agenda items after the vote.","The Faribault Public School District Board on March 3 approved 2025–26 budget adjustments, including staff reallocations and targeted additions aimed at middle‑school math and special education, by a 5-1 vote.","actionData","errors"]
