Superintendent Dr. Michael Lubelfeld announced his retirement effective June 30, 2026, and used his final regular-board appearance to reflect on his eight-year tenure and to thank the district community.
In his comments, Lubelfeld highlighted end-of-year milestones — including 395 students who graduated from eighth grade — and the district retirement party that honored 16 staff members. In his final address to the Board he said it "has been a distinct honor to be part of the story and serve as Superintendent." Board members offered unanimous praise for his leadership, crediting him with modernizing seven schools and helping to restore a culture of trust in the district.
The board’s public remarks stressed the district’s continuity as Lubelfeld departs. The Board also noted ongoing capital work — including completion of Sherwood construction and planned work at the Wayne Thomas building — as examples of long-term projects Lubelfeld shepherded. The superintendent’s retirement is effective June 30, 2026; the district’s next administrative steps for leadership transition were not specified in the meeting minutes.
