Call to Meeting Notice

Date of Meeting: Sunday, November 23, 2025
Time of Meeting: 10:15 a.m. (Directly following the Peace Lutheran Church Service at 9:00 a.m.)
Location of Meeting: Peace Lutheran Church 213 6th Ave SW, Faribault

Faribault Lutheran School was notified by the Synod that our bylaws needed to be updated with verbiage regarding releasing a called worker. Our current bylaws already outline the process for hiring a called worker.

Our board passed the following bylaw amendment to Section III – Board of Directors to clarify the board’s role in releasing a called worker and when a called worker can be released, at our meeting on 11/6/2025. 

We now need our voting members to pass the proposed bylaw amendment. A meeting of our members is at least 50 of our voting members (voting members of both Peace and Trinity Lutheran churches).

The updated bylaws will then be sent to the Synod’s bylaw committee, who meets quarterly.

The bylaw amendment:

3.17 – Removal of Staff
Any principal, teacher, or support staff member of the school may be removed from office in accordance with Christian practice if he or she persists in false doctrine, unchristian life, or unfaithfulness in duty. A staff member may also be removed if deemed incompetent by the Board to fulfill the requirements of the position.

When the removal of a called or rostered worker is being considered, the Board shall notify both supporting church boards and convene a joint meeting for counsel and prayer prior to any final action.

A vote for removal requires a majority vote of all Board members.
