2022 Bond Issue & Levy Transfer
Ozark Middle School Storm Shelter Completed As Promised
On April 5, 2022, you — Ozark voters — approved a $19 million no tax increase bond issue. Your vote made a difference and will make our schools safer while accommodating growth. The support of our community is one of our greatest assets.
- We held a ribbon cutting officially opening the Ozark Middle School storm shelter March 8
- The storm shelter at Tiger Paw is nearing completion and we hope to be serving students breakfast and lunch in the new cafeteria this spring. A ribbon cutting is coming soon!
- The Ozark High School storm shelter and activities center are on schedule. Both projects will be completed for the start of the 2024-25 school year. We plan to have an official ribbon cutting celebration in August.
