Letter to the Register Guard about the new 4J School Board
On June 22, the Eugene 4J School Board unanimously passed a number of decisions that demonstrate a new direction for our district and laid to rest any idea that this board is “dysfunctional" or too politically divided to take action.......
After 7 years of public requests to District 4j and after 7 years of stubborn refusal to make testing opt-out information readily accessible, user-friendly, and in multiple languages, 4j has finally done the right thing.
Yes, CAPE's work set the stage, but without a new board majority dedicated to doing the right thing, this never would have happened.
Check out the district home page:
The ramping up of this year's standardized testing season is beginning.
Parents, you have the power to stop this madness.
Parents, you have the legal right to opt-out.
Take a stand. Deliver a message. Go to the district's website. Get the form. Turn it in.
Pass the word. You can opt out at any time. Any time.
