Council for deannexation to shift student to Lawton High
The City Council unanimously approved a deannexation ordinance and detached a 20 acre tract east of 38th and north of Lee at the owner Jake Adair's request. The move lets his son attend Lawton Senior High for agriculture studies. Eisenhower High would otherwise enroll the boy, but offers no agriculture courses.
