ATTACHMENT D <br />Bethel School District #52 <br /> and inspire each student to <br /> excellence. <br /> <br /> March 29, 2005 <br /> <br /> Denny Braud <br /> City of Eugene <br /> Planning & Development Department <br /> 99 West 10th Avenu6 <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> <br /> Dear Denny, <br /> <br /> Thank you very much for the information about the City Council's consideration of a resolution <br /> requesting a designation of a West Eugene Enterprise Zone. From the materials you sent it is <br /> clear that it has been a practice of creating various zones throughout the state, including Lane <br /> County, for quite sometime. An enterprise zone, for example, previously existed in West Eugene <br /> from 1987 to 1997. <br /> <br /> In the past, our School Board and the district has taken a neutral stance in matters such as this <br /> and I intend to maintain that stance. Our primary concern is to ensure that the children of our <br /> school district receive an outstanding education. We, of course, need resources to provide such <br /> an education. The primary source of our funding is the state. Each year we are guaranteed a <br /> minimum amount of per pupil funding. We are concerned about any proposal that would reduce <br /> that level of funding. <br /> <br /> I understand the importance of economic development in ensuring a vibrant economy for our <br /> region and our state. Clearly, such an economy is a key to adequate funding for schools. I <br /> would be pleased to provide you further information if it would be helpful. <br /> <br /> Steven L. Hull, Ph.D. <br /> Superintendent <br /> <br /> c: Board of Directors <br /> <br /> RECr~'' <br /> <br /> APR 0 1 2005 <br /> <br /> 4640 Barger Drive · Eugene, OR 97402 · Phone (54'1) 689-3280 · Fax (54'1) 689-07'19 · www.bethel.k'12.or.us <br /> <br /> <br />
