The district purchased the property at 1650 W. Jackson St. for $8.27 million.

The building is approximately 161,000 square feet. It is mostly warehouse space.

In a press release, Assistant Superintendent of Operations Curtis Chesick said the district is selling other buildings to help offset the cost. The district said it will share more details on those properties once the sales are finalized.

The district plans to move its maintenance and technology departments into the building. District officials will begin discussing potential long-term uses with the Long Range Planning Committee. The next meeting of the committee is 6:30 p.m. on January 16 at the Ozark Middle School.
