JCC Pool Funding: Know the Facts

There have been questions about the JCC pool and its impact on the district’s financial challenges.

JCC Schools and the City of Jackson share the cost of operating the pool. JCC currently pays approximately $73,000 per year, with those dollars coming from the Community Education Fund, which receives revenue from pool admissions, childcare, swimming lessons, and other program fees.

Pool operations are not currently supported by the district’s General Fund. The last time General Fund dollars were used for the pool was the 2020–21 school year. By law, school districts cannot simply transfer Community Education or Food Service funds into the General Fund. Therefore, closing the pool would not make the $73,000 available to address the General Fund deficit associated with the referendum.

The age of the pool remains a concern. If major equipment or parts of the facility fail and require substantial repairs, the continued operation of the pool would need to be reevaluated.

JCC Schools will continue sharing facts about district finances as we approach the November 3 referendum.

WE’RE HIRING FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR!

Were you interested in becoming a lifeguard this summer but didn’t turn 15 until later in the season? Or maybe you’ve decided you want to become a lifeguard and get a jump start on your certification so you’re ready to work at Water World next summer?

Just started classes at MN West? Looking for a flexible job you can work around your class schedule? Lifeguarding at the YMCA could be a great fit! Get certified now and work throughout the school year.

With Water World now closed for the season, we’re looking for lifeguards to join our team at the Worthington YMCA indoor pool for the school year. Our next Lifeguard Training course is September 4–6, with a discounted certification rate available for those planning to work at the YMCA.

This is a quick turnaround! Registration closes Monday, August 31 so there’s enough time to complete the required online coursework before training. If you’re interested, reach out to Erin to schedule an interview and complete the application using our Google Form: https://forms.gle/fTjmKCdGAKhRWMzr5

Ready to get certified? We’d love to have you on the team
