ADMINISTRATION Partners in Progress Operating the second largest school dis- trict in Oregon is big business, and big business requires leadership and drive. That is what the administrators and school board members of Eugene School Dis- trict No. 4 displayed during the year. These men supervised a budget of X511,720,549.00 and the operation of 29 elementary schools, seven junior high schools, three senior high schools, a voca- tional school, and the Children's Hospital School, with a combined enrollment of 19,260 students. Personnel included 974 faculty members and 551 other employees. Added to their responsibilities were two new junior high schools opening in the fall of 1965, and plans for a fourth sen- ior high school scheduled to open in 1966. A new duty was to serve in an advisory capacity in the establishment of Lane County's new Community College in Eugene. Striving to promote educational oppor- tunities for every individual proved to be a time-consuming but rewarding job for the four administrators and the Hve non-salaried school board members.
