Twenty-six and a half million dollars of funding has been approved for the Ozark school district’s Operation Innovate and Renovate.

The project has no tax increase associated and will expand an early childhood center as well as allow the opening of a new Ozark Innovation Center.

Ozark Superintendent Chris Bauman thanks the community for their support with a yes vote at the polls last week.

“We would like to thank the Ozark community for supporting our school district and the members of our long range planning task force for their initial work to create a plan that’s best for Ozark students,” Bauman said. “This is a testament to the value and trust our community places in our schools, our teachers and our staff.”
