Jim Ned Consolidated Independent School District is a school district based in Tuscola, Texas (USA). The district serves approximately 1,000 students in southeastern Taylor County, including the towns of Tuscola, Buffalo Gap and Lawn. A small portion of northeastern Runnels County lies within the district. The district is named after the Jim Ned Creek, which runs through all three towns. The creek is named after Jim Ned, who was an Indian cavalry scout for the US Army.
Colt McCoy, the former starting quarterback for the Texas Longhorns who now plays for the NFL's Arizona Cardinals, graduated from the district's Jim Ned High School.
In 2009, the school district was rated "recognized" by the Texas Education Agency.
History
Due to an overabundance of students in the district schools, the district proposed a bond in 2020. Voters favored the bond, which resulted in the district building an intermediate school. Another bond to increase capacity in the high school was scheduled for 2023.
