The cost of the bond projects will increase over time due to inflation. Waiting will only increase the price. This is an optimal time to run a bond to address deferred maintenance, create new learning spaces, and become more energy efficient.
We still need volunteers to help run the High School regional track meet on Thursday, May 16th. The meet begins at 3:00. If you can help, please contact JCN AD Shanie Adams or call the high school office. We will find a place for you, thank you for considering.

We are an agriculture-based community, and the bond will build a state-of-the-art Vo-ag classroom for our students. This project is vital to our students, the FFA program, and the school community. Providing students with the best agricultural learning space was the top project in our community survey.

The bond will install a new HVAC unit in the high school gym and theater area. Big events such as band concerts, athletic events, award ceremonies, and graduation often get hot, making many events unpleasant to participate in or attend. Bond = Gym HVAC.
