April 2022 Bond Overview

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.

Since April, we have been busy wrapping up our June 2020 bond projects while kicking off these new bond projects. Here are some highlights:

In September, the Board of Education selected Branco Enterprises Inc. as the construction manager at risk for all four projects, which include storm shelters at Tiger Paw Early Childhood Center, Ozark Middle School and Ozark High School, as well as an indoor activities building at OHS

The Design Phase is nearly complete for all projects

All projects will go out to bid this winter (2022/23)

Estimate completion date on all projects is August 2024

Question 1: OHS Storm Shelter - March 23

The storm shelter at Ozark High School would serve as physical education and practice space. As we move ninth grade to OHS next school year, our two current gyms will be full. If approved, our $19 Million No Tax Increase Bond Issue will double indoor practice space at OHS and allow smaller PE class sizes.

Question 1: OMS Storm Shelter - March 16

The storm shelter at Ozark Middle School would serve as additional classrooms. As this facility nears capacity, adding 6-8 classrooms allows us to maximize its use.

Question 1: Tiger Paw Storm Shelter - March 9

The storm shelter at Tiger Paw would serve as a cafeteria. Currently there is not a cafeteria or commercial kitchen in the facility. Meals are delivered from East Elementary and eaten in the gymnasium. As we increase our enrollment, delivering meals is no longer feasible.
