School Building Assessment Underway
Results will guide future decisions on facility improvements
4J is getting an outside perspective on the quality of its school buildings. The district’s schools are 57 years old on average, apart from four schools built in the 2000s.
With limited resources, the district must be strategic about investing in renovations to better support learning. An outside firm will assess 4J's school buildings and provide the data needed to make smart choices about prioritizing improvements.
Each school building will be evaluated in four areas:
- Site conditions
- Physical condition of the building
- Educational suitability
- Technology readiness
Findings will be shared after the work is completed this spring. The project is funded from the district’s Surplus Property Capital Fund.
4J Will Accept Out-of-District Students
Applications for 2012–13 will be due April 1
The Eugene School District will accept more out-of-district transfer students in 2012–13, based on a new state law, HB 3681.
Students who live in the district will continue to have the first opportunity to change schools, before out-of-district students are placed in schools. State school funding will be received for each incoming transfer student.
Out-of-district transfer request forms will be available in mid-February. Requests are due April 1.
