Letter to the Register Guard about the new 4J School Board

 

Kudos to Eugene 4J

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.......

Arm the Teachers ? 

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.

 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.
