The Eugene School Board has approved entering into direct negotiations with the Village School to purchase the Dunn school property, located at 3411 Willamette Street, using a market analysis as a basis for the negotiations.
The Village School is a public charter school that currently leases another 4J-owned property in south Eugene and has expressed a strong interest in acquiring the Dunn school property.
While in most cases the district uses a competitive process to seek offers when disposing of surplus property, under board policy the school board may choose to use any other process and may give preference to other public agencies. Throughout the public process concerning the disposal of the Dunn school property, public input has repeatedly supported maintaining community use and especially educational use of the property.
