Boundary realignment shifts junior high zones and high school attendance
Lawton city officials approve boundary changes to move west area juniors to Tomlinson and east area to Central, with sophomores split between Eisenhower and Lawton High. Fort Sill juniors and seniors follow Fort Sill attendance, while Eisenhower and Tomlinson gain capacity balance and reduce need for new wings. New housing near Fort Sill drives the plan, which aims to keep enrollment near 2100 at Lawton High and evenly distribute students between Eisenhower and Central junior highs.
