Eugene School District 4J

Eugene School District 4J has a complicated budget season ahead.

Eugene’s 4J school district is planning to ban e-motos from all campuses.

Eugene School District 4J is preparing to begin planning for possible budget reductions in the 2027-28 school year.

The Eugene 4J School District is now accepting nominations to rename César Chávez Elementary. The district started the process to rename the school this summer after the New York Times reported allegations of sexual misconduct against the labor activist that spanned decades.

Twin Oaks Elementary teacher Mary Riggs was named Teacher of the Year by local veterans organizations for her work educating students on the U.S. flag and veteran honor.

Some students who’ve returned to high school in Eugene this month might see more classmates sitting around them.

Eugene 4J School District’s director of finance resigned Friday after accusing district leaders of blaming him for a larger than expected deficit earlier this year. Eugene 4J has disputed his claims.

Over the last several weeks, district leaders have adopted a new policy on renaming schools and surveyed dozens of community members about renaming Chávez Elementary specifically.

After cutting staff and tapping into one-time funds to close a larger-than-expected budget gap, the Eugene School District has a plan for next year’s finances.

The Eugene 4J School District Board could approve next year’s budget as soon as May 27.

The Eugene School District 4J budget committee unanimously passed its 2026-27 funding proposal during its final meeting Wednesday night.

District leaders voted Wednesday night to do more structured community engagement before deciding whether to change the name following sexual assault allegations.
