Board selects 27th and Park site for new elementary school
The board of education Monday night officially chose 27th and Park as the elementary school site with 180000 dollars in federal funds reserved in Washington. Ten percent of another 180000 allotment for the Greer addition has been certified for payment. A contract must be set within 90 days, and Greer plans have been approved by officials in Fort Worth and Washington. The 27th and Park project must undergo the same process before funds can be certified. With crowded existing schools, the board debated sites for another northwest elementary building and a second west junior high but took no action. A new auditorium and a 15 classroom addition are planned for the senior high, with open house events scheduled for September 21 and 26. The board also seeks help from the Lawton Real Estate board to sell McKinley school, Third and Columbia, closed due to low enrollment, with ads placed in major publications. Wilbur Marler won the venetian contract.
