Ozark School District closed on the purchase of the commercial property known as the Fasco building located at 1600 W. Jackson St. in Ozark on Tuesday, July 16, 2019. The $4.1 million purchase is part of Phase 1 of the District's Long Range Plan, which the Board of Education approved in March 2019. The Innovation Center will serve as an extension of the main Ozark High School campus and a new location of District Office.

Operation Renovate & Innovate will impact every student in the District, starting with the earliest learners at Tiger Paw Early Childhood Center. 

In July, the District purchased a commercial property at 1600 W. Jackson St., known as the FASCO building, which will serve as an extension of the main Ozark High School campus and a new location of District Office. Moving District Office will give Tiger Paw the space to grow. 

Part of that expansion started the 2019-20 school year, as one preschool class as well as the physical therapy and occupational therapy room moved into the north end of the current District Office. Plus, Tiger Paw added an additional preschool class, allowing the District to serve 20 more kids this school year.
