Presenter outlines back‑to‑school plans, highlights student trip and staff training
Summary
A presenter gave superintendent announcements including district open houses, a student trip to Washington, D.C., a family‑night turnout of about 850, and professional development that reached more than 1,000 staff; the first day of school was confirmed for Thursday, Aug. 13.
A presenter opened the superintendent's report with reminders about back‑to‑school events and staff training. The presenter said open houses at all schools will run between 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. and noted two Lawton Public Schools students, "Cali Gachot" and "Danielle Tomah," spent time in Washington, D.C., in July with about 400 students participating in the Close‑Up Foundation program on civic topics. "The district provided 175 sessions to over 1000 staff members," the presenter said, describing a largely peer‑led professional development day.
The presenter also highlighted community turnout and the school calendar. "Last week, the district offered a choice based professional development for all teachers," the presenter said, and later confirmed: "Our 1st day of school will be Thursday, August 13." The presenter thanked sponsors and staff for a family night that drew about 850 attendees and asked the board to note staff appreciation for district support.
