Transparency Portal

Welcome to Ozark School District's Transparency Portal! This online tool makes it easy for parents, students, staff and community members to find important information about our District. We strive for transparency in everything we do. We want our taxpayers to feel confident in knowing how we are spending your tax dollars and how we are educating the children in your community. By sharing these reports and documents, we aim to keep everyone in the loop and build a stronger, more connected community.

If you have something you would like us to consider adding to the Transparency Portal, please email ozarkcommunications@ozarktigers.org.

Lead Testing

In 2022, the Missouri legislature passed the Get the Lead out of School Drinking Water Act (RSMo 160.077), which sets standards for lead concentrations in school drinking water. The law requires schools to conduct inventory, sampling, remediation and monitoring at all potable drinking water outlets used or potentially used for drinking, food preparation, and cooking or cleaning utensils. Under the law, the deadline to complete initial testing is August 2024.

In April 2024, Ozark School District, through Terracon Consultants, Inc., tested 1,097 outlets across the District, including drinking fountains, bathroom and kitchen sinks, classroom faucets, and bottle fillers. Terracon presented the District with the drinking water testing results on June 11, 2024.

Annual Bus Inspections

The Missouri State Highway Patrol conducts annual bus inspections at school districts across the state each spring. The Patrol then releases the results on its website.
