Superintendent highlights geothermal project, Ravinia ribbon‑cutting and dual‑language consolidation timeline
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Michael Lubelfeld reported a geothermal drilling project at Ravinia described as a national first for its Dynamic Closed Loop system, announced a Ravinia ribbon‑cutting Aug. 13, and outlined a K–5 dual‑language transition to Oak Terrace with Red Oak closing in 2027–28; district enrollment was reported at 3,619.
Superintendent Dr. Michael Lubelfeld used his report to introduce new and reassigned administrators who took roles on July 1, recognize July as Disability Pride Month, and highlight facility and program updates.
He said a geothermal drilling project is underway at Ravinia and described the Dynamic Closed Loop system as receiving national attention for being the first of its kind in the country; he also announced Ravinia renovations are complete with a ribbon‑cutting scheduled for Aug. 13. The Superintendent outlined the K–5 dual‑language transition plan: in 2026–27 all dual‑language kindergarten students will attend Oak Terrace, and in 2027–28 Red Oak will close and all K–5 dual language students will attend Oak Terrace with early childhood returning to Green Bay School. He reported districtwide enrollment for 2025–26 stood at 3,619 and noted the district continues to offer AI tools for staff and students with teacher guidance.
Why it matters: the geothermal system and school renovations affect energy and facilities planning; the dual‑language consolidation will change school assignments for families over the next two years.
