Lawton Public Schools is taking significant steps to enhance accessibility and improve the experience for students and families attending football games. During a recent meeting, officials acknowledged the challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, particularly regarding parking and access to seating at sporting events.

Efforts are underway to ensure that those with mobility issues have clear information about where to park and sit during games. School representatives emphasized the importance of communication, urging families to contact the school for guidance on accessibility options. This initiative aims to alleviate anxiety for attendees who may find navigating the venues more difficult.

The meeting also highlighted the positive atmosphere at recent home football games, particularly for MacArthur High School, which has benefited from playing closer to home. This change has not only reduced travel time for players but has also fostered a stronger sense of community and school spirit.

Looking ahead, discussions included plans to continue hosting games at Cameron Stadium, with commitments from the new stadium president to invest in improvements. This collaboration aims to enhance the overall experience for both players and fans, ensuring that local students can enjoy games on a field that represents their school.

As Lawton Public Schools moves forward, the focus remains on creating an inclusive environment that supports all students and their families, making school events more accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
