Administration
Dr. Sheldon ("Shelley") Berman (photo) has served as superintendent of Eugene School District 4J since July 2011.
The seven-member Board of Directors serves as the policy-making body of the school district. This school board selects the superintendent as the district's executive officer and delegates the responsibility for implementing its policies and plans to the superintendent. The board also has the annual responsibility of adopting a balanced school district budget, developed in a budget process along with seven appointed citizen members of the district's budget committee.
Board members are elected from the district at large to serve four-year terms. Board members serve without pay.
The school board usually meets in regular public sessions on the first and third Wednesdays of each month at 7 p.m. at the 4J Education Center, 200 North Monroe, Eugene. Special meetings and work sessions are scheduled as necessary. All regular board meetings are broadcast live on the district's radio station, KRVM-AM 1280, and audio recordings are later posted to the district's website.
The school board encourages public input. Comments on items that are not on the board's agenda may be made at the beginning of each meeting. Audience members who wish to speak may sign up at the beginning of the meeting. Comments also may be sent to the board via email.
