Business Office


The Faribault School District Business Office staff consists of dedicated professionals whose goal is to contribute to the successful education of all students through sound fiscal practices.

The staff is ready to serve students, parents, staff, school board and taxpayers on all school district financial and accounting issues.

The Business Office oversees day-to-day activities including processing payables, receivables and student activity transactions. The staff monitors activity to ensure funds spent are within guidelines established by the School Board approved budget, and that all expenditures are in compliance with Minnesota statutes.

The Business Office is responsible for meeting deadlines associated with submission of financial data to the Minnesota Department of Education. In addition, the Business Office oversees the district budget process, assists the district’s independent auditors during the annual audit and works with Rice County and the Minnesota Department of Education to ensure the levy process is completed.
