Faribault Public Schools recognizes the responsibility of the news media to provide accurate and timely information to the community concerning issues and events that occur in our schools.

Faribault Public Schools ensures the protection of student and employee privacy and will not release any information that may reveal a student’s identity; will respect the privacy of its teachers and employees and will not release any personal or personnel-related information unless required by law; will not comment on any case that is before the courts; and will refer all questions related to police investigations to proper authority. 

School Closing information

School, programs and activities may be closed and/or canceled by the superintendent in the event of extreme weather conditions.
