Operating Millage Thank You

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.

A graphic titled "Flashback Friday" features a circular photo of Mr. Williams smiling and leaning against a tree. Below, text reads: "If I could go back and tell my middle school self 1 thing, I would tell them... 'Getting comfortable in your own skin as soon as possible will make your experience so much happier in middle school. It is so difficult not to be worried about what others think about you, especially in middle school. The sooner you become cool with being yourself and not worrying about others, the sooner school and life becomes much more enjoyable." The Lawton Middle School Blue Devils logo is in the corner. The background is blue with stars.

A graphic shows photos from an 8th grade guest speaker and shows photos from the event. The text reads : "Steve Rossio from the Portage District Library came to present to our 8th graders about the American Civil War. Mr. Rossio took on the persona of a Union solder on the signal corps and taught students how the army used flags to communicate across the battlefield. Students had a chance to wave the signal flags and look at other artifacts from the Civil War era. "
