Jackson Elementary - July 17-22, 2026
Clearing of the land began in March 2026, and quickly a lot of activity was taking place at the site of the new Jackson Elementary School in Jackson. This new school will house grades K-5 and is located south of Main Street adjacent to the Jackson Community Center. There will be a separate gymnasium and cafeteria, secure entries and other safety features, a safer drop-off and pick-up, and many more features. See the renderings of the new school.

McLane Elementary School and Green Tree Elementary School - July 22, 2026
The old gymnasium at McLane Elementary School got a facelift. It now has a shiny new floor and more sturdy and safe bleachers. This project was funding with some referendum funds and more capital maintenance funds. At Green Tree Elementary School, the new parking lot and driveways have been moved about 45 degrees and enlarged. The result will be a safer morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up, and a much nicer parking lot.
