Eugene School District 4J’s school board is considering a potential bond measure to be placed on the November 2018 ballot to replace or improve aging school buildings and learning materials.

Members of the public are invited to learn more and share their views.

A community forum has been scheduled on Wednesday, May 30, 7–8 p.m., at the 4J Education Center, 200 N. Monroe St. in Eugene. Spanish interpretation will be provided.

An online comment form also is open through Wednesday, May 30.

The potential bond package was developed in a lengthy process that began with an assessment of the district’s facility and materials needs and the development of the district’s long-range facilities plan.

The district’s identified capital needs totaled more than $1 Billion, including facility repairs and improvements, technology, capacity to address educational needs and crowding, expand career–technical education programs, security and safety including seismic safety, and more.

The district conducted a previous online survey and a series of community forums earlier this year as the potential project list was being developed.

This is an additional opportunity for community members to share their thoughts before the school board makes final decisions in June about placing a final bond package on the November ballot.
