We are less than a week away from a ballot item for Lawton Community Schools.

As a reminder, on August 4th 2026, voters of the Lawton Community School District will be asked to consider replacing the expiring, non-homestead operating millage, which the district has levied for many years. The proposal will allow Lawton Community Schools to continue to levy the statutory rate of not to exceed 18 mills on all property, except principal residence and other property exempted by law.

The infographic and frequently asked questions should help you understand more about the operating millage proposal on the upcoming ballot.

If you have any questions please contact Superintendent Ben Bandfield at bbandfield@lawtoncs.org or 269.624.7901

Thank you for your continued support of Lawton Community Schools.
