Ozark Mountain School District Superintendent Jeff Lewis says this week’s meeting to discuss the possible merger of the districts high schools went well, and several good questions were asked community members.
Lewis, who spoke with KTLO Friday morning, said these are initial conversations and a formal decision has not been made. More community meetings will held on the district’s other campuses at a later date. Additionally, he stressed that this was not a total merger and the proposal would only effect grades 7-12.
The district is looking to find long term solutions and opportunities for its students.
The Ozark Mountain School District was formed in 2004 after the former Bruno-Pyatt, St. Joe and Western Grove consolidated . Since then, the district has continued to operate all three elementary and high schools with the administration office on the St. Joe campus. Now, the district is reportedly considering closing the high schools at Bruno-Pyatt and St. Joe and combining them into one high school at Western Grove.
