Eugene 4J school board members have unanimously approved a plan to address a significant budget deficit. The superintendent's proposal aims to close a projected $30 million to $35 million gap for the upcoming fiscal year. This financial strategy is expected to involve layoffs for both teachers and other district employees. Declining enrollment and uncertainty surrounding state funding are key factors contributing to the deficit. The district is implementing a phased approach to reductions, starting with non-student-facing roles.
