Use JSON multidimensional array to populate values in nested checkboxes

Question

I want to populate the JSON array into the nested checkboxes. Let me explain it. I have Schools data with their campuses and classes in the relavent campus. I want to assing a teacher to classes. One teacher can teach more that one classes in a campus. As I will select the school from dropdwon, all the campuses with thies assigned classes will be populated in a list.

       jQuery(function($){

        var campuses = {
                        "7":{
                            "16*Boys Campus":
                                {
                                    "13":"Class Two","19":"Class Three","21":"Class Four","22":"Class Five","23":"Class Six"
                                },
                            "11*Girls Campus":
                                {
                                    "19":"Class Three","21":"Class Four","22":"Class Five","23":"Class Six"
                                }
                            },
                        "8":{
                            "14*Boys Campus":
                                {
                                    "18":"Class One","22":"Class Five","23":"Class Six"
                                },
                            "15*Girls Campus":
                                {
                                    "18":"Class One","19":"Class Three"
                                }
                            }
                        };

            $('#school_id').on('change',function() {
                var id = $(this).val();

                // Populate campus in dropdown box
                var i = campuses[id];

                //console.log(i);
               $('#campus_id option').remove();

                if(i !== null){ 

                        $.each(i,function(k,v){

                            a = k.split("*");

                            k = a[0];                                                       
                            v = a[1];   

                            $('#campus_id')
                                .append($("Here I want Checkbox for Campus")
                                    .attr("value",k)
                                    .text(v));

                        // Here, I want to classes checkbox of relavnat campus
                        }); // main loop

                } //if condition


            }); // end on change function

        }); // end main jquery function

Here is the HTML Code

<table class="form-table" id="teacher_faculty_meta">
  <tr valign="top">

      </select>
    </td>
  </tr>
  <!-- Campus / Bracnh Select Box -->
  <tr valign="top">

                container.html(htmloption);
            }
    }
    jQuery(function ($) {

        $('#school_id').on('change', changefunction); // end on change function
        changefunction();

    }); // end main jquery function

        <td><div id="campus"></div></td>


    </tr>

</table>

we can more optimize it and add functionality to each check box. but that will take time.
