Administration Building

As our district continues to grow in enrollment, we have also been adding teachers and other support staff along the way. And as our staff has grown, we also have strategically added both professional & auxiliary administrative staff to better support our growing number of students & staff. But we have been running out of space to place any additional administrative staff! So, over the past few years, we began considering expanding into nearby office space at our Administration Building that was being leased by our local Jim Ned Young Life program.

Life leader David Bartell & the Young Life board have graciously allowed us to transition gradually into that space this spring semester. Over the past few weeks, we have begun some necessary renovations of that space so that we can move into that building over the next few months. We plan on our stellar Business Office staff relocating to that space which will include our CFO Hunter Cooley, Payroll Specialist Kari Phariss, & Accounts Payable Specialist Monica Weatherly. On behalf of our School Board & Administration, we want to thank Young Life for your continued service to our youth in Jim Ned & thank you for working with the district in this transition as we grow.

Batting Cages Substitute Pay

In the January board meeting, the School Board approved an increase of Sub Pay by $10 in each of our pay categories. Sub pay will now be: $100 for certified subs; $95 for degreed subs; & $85 for non-degreed subs.

It is the goal of the Jim Ned School Board & Administration to remain competitive with our substitute teacher wages as we remain very blessed to have truly outstanding substitute teachers in Jim Ned! We are incredibly grateful for the service of our subs to our Tribe! We simply cannot maintain excellence in our classrooms without you!

Have you noticed an awesome new white metal building going up near the softball field? Through the generosity of Jim Ned community donors, this new building will become an indoor batting cage for our softball & baseball players. While the exterior portion of the building is mostly complete, the interior remains under construction. But it is getting very close to completion. What a blessing to have so many generous community members supporting our various Jim Ned programs. I know that Coach Erica Jones & Coach Mario Estrada are very excited to get their student athletes in that new facility soon!
