Eugene School District 4J is seeking a new superintendent. 2014–15 is Dr. Sheldon Berman’s final year as superintendent of the district. The board hopes to name a new superintendent in spring 2015.
Input from parents, students, staff and community members is an important part of the process of seeking the district’s next superintendent.
Citizen Screening Committee
Eugene School Board has appointed a citizen screening committee composed of parents and community members as well as employee group representatives. The committee will review and interview applicants and determine a list of semifinalists to be recommended to the school board.

More than 1,250 stakeholders completed an online survey and more than 120 provided input in person at a community forum or focus group. This input was used to help develop criteria for the superintendent search.
