Thanks to the Weekly for tracking the Eugene 4J School Board. What a difficult year! The transparency on the school board article (10/28) was terribly helpful.
After a career in nonprofit organizations working with many, many boards of directors, I know how important it is for a board to work together, to have focus and to table their individual agendas and focus on the common good. In this case it is the welfare of our community’s kids.
I hope our school board will focus on children’s mental health, equity for children who have been marginalized and helping kids catch up. To do this the board, community and staff have to pull together.
Thank you to board Chair Judy Newman and Vice Chair Martina Shabram for caring, committed leadership.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
