Since June, construction workers in Rochester, Minn., have been drilling deep wells that will eventually be part of a large geothermal network meant to heat and cool multiple buildings downtown. These systems aren’t an option for every city. But in locations that have the right geologic conditions, it’s a climate-friendly way to heat and cool.

In a statement to parents, the district confirmed that some district data was accessed by an “outside actor,” but stopped short of saying who is affected.
