🗳️ JCN Bond 2026: Two Questions. Four Possible Outcomes.
As Election Day approaches on November 3, we want our community to understand how the two-question bond proposal works and what each possible outcome means.
🏫 Question #1 — $3,485,000: Addresses critical infrastructure, HVAC, roofing, parking, safety, and security needs across our schools.
🌱 Question #2 — $1,535,000: Provides additional learning spaces for Agriculture Science and Web and Digital Communications, along with ADA-accessible restroom improvements.
Because the questions are voted on separately, there are four possible outcomes:
✅ Both questions pass.
✅ Question #1 passes, but Question #2 fails.
✅ Both questions fail.
✅ Question #1 fails and Question #2 cannot pass on its own.
The accompanying graphic also outlines projected mill levy increases and estimated monthly costs for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties under the different bond scenarios.
Our goal is to provide clear, factual information so our community can understand the proposal, review the potential costs, and make informed decisions at the polls.
📅 Election Day is November 3!

Some of our 1st grade Fall Favorites are reading our Nonfiction, We Can Move book, by Mateo Garza. Essential Question: How does your body move? Pair Read with What's Under Your Skin? After reading and discussing, dancing to the Monster Mash music. 1st grade enjoyed making a skeleton, thinking about the EQ.
First grade also enjoyed listening to a read aloud, Pumpkin Jack, by Will Hubbell. Our classroom pumpkin had started decomposing, causing the action of bacteria, fungi, and little insects and a unique order. We took it out to a favorite spot to complete its decaying process. We will continue to visit the process.
Earlier, students wrote on fall leaf one thing they already learned or want to learn this year and posted them at the Fall for Learning campsite.

When voters go to the polls on November 3, they will be presented with two separate bond questions. This two-question approach allows our community to make individual decisions about different priorities for our schools.
Question #1 addresses critical infrastructure, safety, and security needs across the district. Question #2 focuses on creating new learning spaces and expanding educational opportunities for our students.
While both questions address important needs and work together to support the future of JCN, they will be voted on separately. The accompanying image illustrates the possible outcomes of each question based on the voters’ decisions. Notice that if question #1 can pass on its own, but question #2 is reliant on the passage of question #1.
Our goal is to provide clear information so every voter understands the options and the potential impact of each decision on our schools and students.

Our Web and Digital Communications courses give students valuable opportunities to develop technology skills for college and future careers. However, these programs require space for multiple computer screens, large-format printers, and other specialized equipment. Our current classroom is undersized and overcrowded, making it difficult to meet the needs of a program that didn't exist when our school was built decades ago. Bond Question #2 would provide dedicated learning space designed for today's technology-driven curriculum and tomorrow's career opportunities. Investing in modern learning spaces means investing in our students' futures!
