Superintendent lays out 2025–26 evaluation goals, AI work and K–5 dual-language consolidation plan
Summary
Superintendent Dr. Michael Lubelfeld told the District 112 Committee of the Whole the board-approved 2025–26 evaluation goals will center on Learning, Construction and Succession Excellence; he described two Wildly Important Goals on literacy and K–5 dual-language consolidation and his work on classroom AI guidance.
Dr. Michael Lubelfeld, superintendent of North Shore School District 112, told the Committee of the Whole on Oct. 14 that the district’s 2025–26 evaluation goals will focus on Learning Excellence, Construction Excellence and Succession Excellence.
Lubelfeld described efforts tied to Learning Excellence, including annual Humanex culture and engagement surveys that he said have shown increasing satisfaction and engagement among staff, parents and students. He said principals continue to set high expectations and that the administration is supporting new principals through mentoring at Edgewood and Oak Terrace.
The superintendent said two “Wildly Important Goals” (WIGs) will focus on increasing student literacy and on successfully consolidating the district’s K–5 Dual Language program over the next two years. He said a Superintendent’s Task Force will convene later in October to address student success, facilities needs and family engagement planning for the planned merge of Red Oak and Oak Terrace in the 2027–28 school year.
Lubelfeld also described his participation in the Google GSV Fellowship and its action research on artificial intelligence in classrooms, saying the work centers on ethical use and student learning. He said his work ranges from using Magic School AI tools with fourth-grade dual-language students to demonstrations for eighth-grade students on building a chatbot or app using Playlab AI.
District technology and operations executive Jeremy Wickham appears as co-chair of the district’s Educational Technology Committee; Lubelfeld said he and Wickham are leading a committee that includes staff, parents, Board President Kessler and board member Jaret Fishman to develop AI responsible-use guidelines and a proposed AI policy for the district. The administration intends to bring draft guidance to the Board Policy Committee and seek full board approval in February.
