Josephine County Circuit Court will be Mailing Jury Summons in New Postcard Format
Josephine County Circuit Court has announced it is mailing out jury summons in a new format. The local court has streamlined the jury process and will now send postcards out to prospective jurors. The postcard will provide instructions for accessing online information and resources. The goal is to make jury service response and communication easier, faster and more convenient. They will replace the paper brochures sent out in envelopes. The postcards will include the essential information jurors need to know to respond for service and communicate with the court. They direct potential jurors to a new online portal called "Juror eResponse" where the prospective juror can complete the response form, opt in for text or e-mail notifications, get reporting instructions, and request a deferral or to be excused. Prospective jurors who do not have internet access can complete a questionnaire at the Josephine County Courthouse when they report for jury service by using a court kiosk. The Juror eResponse portal is part of the Oregon Judicial Department's efforts to take advantage of technology to improve and expand court communication, accessibility and engagement in innovative ways. The two systems will overlap until May 2024 when the new format replaces the old one. ...Read more

Redwood Foundation for Education Creates Fund to Support GP Early Learning Program
The Redwood Foundation for Education is pleased to announce the establishment of a fund to support the Grants Pass School District Early Learning Program. The program offers free early learning opportunities to Grants Pass families with preschool-aged children. Unlike K-12 education, early learning programs do not receive state funding. Programs for preschool-aged children are typically funded through grants, donations or tuition. The earnings from this fund will support free parent-child interactive playgroups and connect families to community resources and support. In addition, donations to the Grants Pass Early Learning Fund will support preschool opportunities, transportation assistance, child care for families with multiple children so parents/caregivers can attend workshops and playgroups with the preschool-aged child, professional development for early learning providers, parent workshops, kindergarten readiness classes, on-site dental, vision and speech screenings, and a clothing closet. For more information on how to support the Grants Pass Early Learning Program, please visit "redwoodforeducation.org/grants/grants-pass-early-learning-fund." ...Read more
