Bond Community Conversations -You're invited to meet with district leader and staff to learn and ask questions about the school bond measure on the November 6 ballot
- Monday, October 29, 7 p.m., North Eugene High School library, 200 Silver Lane
- Friday, November 2, 3 p.m., Camas Ridge Elementary School, 1150 E. 29th Ave.
Do you have questions about the school bond measure on the November 6 ballot? Community members are invited to discuss the measure with Superintendent Gustavo Balderas and other 4J staff at a pair of community meetings next week. This is an opportunity to learn more and ask questions about the bond measure before ballots are due.
Measure 20–297, the school bond measure on the November 6 ballot, would repair schools, improve security, update technology and learning materials, support career technical education, address overcrowding and replace three aging school buildings.
If the bond measure is approved by voters, property tax rates would increase by $0.66 per $1,000 of assessed value, to a total rate of $2.25 per $1,000 assessed value for Eugene School District bond debt. For the median homeowner in the district, with an assessed property value of $204,000, property taxes would increase by about $11 a month or $135 a year.

Vocal Showcase - Chris Mudd and Jacob Steinberger - the vocal showcase was awesome this week I am always so proud of the work that you do and the pure enjoyment that students have in your classes. You provide an exemplar for staff when it comes to relationships, feedback, rigor and engagement. Not to mention pure enjoyment! Congrats for putting on a great show.
Churchill Student Athletes - we have received time and time again nominations from the OSAA where they congratulate us on level of sportsmanship nomination. This is a recognition program that gives officials the opportunity to highlight the positive sportsmanship that they see on the field or court. In recent contests, our sports teams exhibited the great qualities that the OSAA looks for in teams, programs, and communities across the state, and our game officials have noticed! I would like to thank the many wonderful coaches, student athletes, and building athletic director. I am also indebted to our wonderful and flexible staff for allowing students to leave early and help provide students these wonderful opportunities. Thank you all. You make Churchill proud.
Lancer Ladies Soccer - The amazing and resilient run by the CHS Lady Soccer Team. What an amazing group of young athletes. Your collective sense of 'team' is what is most memorable. You played like champions all season. I am proud of you.
Ian Ogden - Ian has a new role this year as our District AVID Coordinator. This is an immense job. He gets into classrooms art each school, collaborates with administrators and teachers at each school and develops meaningful meetings anfd outcomes across the district in support of AVID. Additionally, he focuses his energy working on building meaningful professional development for our own staff. I am excited for his work and the positive impact he is having on our school.
AJ Robinson - Congratulations on a well deserved win on Friday night. AJ has led our football team to its second consecutive district championship title. I wanted to thank you for being an authentic leader. It is difficult to navigate challenges when they arise, and you have navigated a season of challenges. You showed our football players what it means to work hard and stay focused on the end goal. You have taught them how to treat others, to be welcoming and open-hearted. But above all you have shown this group of boys what it means to have integrity. This is lesson hard to come by in some, but a gift to every athlete you have had the honor of coaching. Thank you for leading with your heart and for holding high expectations.
