Dr. Neil Weaver, a career educator with over 20 years of experience in two school districts, will be the incoming superintendent of Lawton Public Schools and is scheduled to begin officially on April 20, he said on the district's podcast.

The episode featured light conversation about community events and a transition plan: the district's current superintendent said the board has selected a replacement and that the district will support a successful handoff.

School leaders highlighted early priorities Weaver hopes to learn about during the transition, including family engagement and student opportunities. Weaver praised a recent elementary performance with the Philharmonic and said he looks forward to understanding the district's partnerships and local activities that benefit students.
