LAWTON, Okla_The Lawton Public
Schools learned Monday they will get $37 million from the federal government to
replace the two elementary schools on Fort Sill.
Geronimo Road and Sheridan Road
schools will be torn down and replaced with a single school, to be named 'Freedom
Elementary.' The aging schools were among the top 12 schools on the Pentagon's Public
School Improvement Priority List. Superintendent Barry Beauchamp said LPS will
still own and operate the school.
"This is
not a Department of Defense school, these buildings will belong to LPS. The
money has been given to the LPS. We are being charged with the responsibility
of constructing the buildings and then maintaining those buildings adequately
to serve the students at Ft.
Sill."
The new school
will have a four-building complex: one building for early childhood, one for
primary education, one for intermediate education, and an activities facility which
will house the gym, cafeteria and library. A groundbreaking date has not been
set.
