The Jackson County School District is seeking a 5-year waiver with the other schools in the NEA Educational Cooperative for the school start date. Right now the law states that the start date for 2024-2025 be on or after August 19 and no later than August 26. The waiver would grant districts the option of an earlier start date. The end dates are an estimate without any closures for the year.
-Begin August 19 and end May 16 (with snow days May 19-22); or
-with waiver: Begin August 12 and end May 9 (with snow days May 12-15)
JCSD is seeking parental input for the waiver application. Please click on the link below to answer the survey, a Gmail account is required.

Opioid overdoses are on the rise, and our district is very fortunate to receive these boxes. JCSD staff will be trained to look for signs of overdose, and how to use the contents of the "purple box".
