Parent Council Survey

Survey to Assist Parent Council in Deciding Whether to Endorse School Funding Proposal

Since January, the SEHS Parent Council has been getting information about the cuts in the District 4J budget. In light of the deep cuts in next year's budget for the 4J District and at South Eugene High School, the Parent Council is considering endorsing Measure 20-182 ("School Funding Measure"), the city income tax proposal on the May ballot. 

The cuts to the South Eugene High School program would include:

·       the  loss of 7 teachers in classic South, and additional losses in IHS

·       class size increases by an average of 5 students.

·       the loss of 35 class sections: every department will experience cuts that increase class size and thus reduce the number of sections for the classes that remain

·       the loss of level 1 and 2  French and German classes (we will be phasing out these two languages, although not including French immersion)

·       the loss of AP Psychology and Human Anatomy & Physiology

On April 6, 2011 the Parent Council met and discussed the School Funding Measure. The Parent Council is considering endorsing this measure. To include the wider school community's input, we are asking our membership to answer a short survey. If your student is currently enrolled at South Eugene High School, you are eligible to participate.
