January – June 2007
The Think Tank will explore the options and issues, identified by eight focus groups in the first phase of Shaping 4J’s Future, and develop a set of integrated options or scenarios for further consideration. The Think Tank will forward these scenarios to the Eugene School Board; the board will then decide which scenarios to forward to a broader public involvement process that will start in fall 2007.
The Think Tank is conducted by a team from the University of Oregon (UO), in consultation with the 4J School District. University faculty directing the Think Tank bring expertise in collaborative processes and public deliberation efforts. The UO team members are:
- Richard Margerum, Associate Professor; Chair of Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management
- Ed Weeks, Associate Professor, Department of Planning, Public Policy & Management
- Robert Parker, Co-Director, UO Community Service Center
