One of the key components of this proposal is the Agriculture Learning Lab. This facility would provide students with hands-on, real-world learning experiences that extend beyond what can be replicated in a traditional classroom. Students would have the opportunity to apply academic concepts in authentic settings while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and leadership skills essential for life after graduation.
In partnership with our newly established agricultural education program and FFA chapter, the Learning Lab would expand opportunities for students to explore careers in agriculture, science, skilled trades, and related fields.
This measure represents a decision for our community regarding the future direction of these proposed opportunities. We encourage all community members to stay informed and participate in the election.
Your participation in this vote is important as we work together to support our students and schools.
Please remember to vote on April 7.
Investing in Learning. Harvesting Opportunity.
On April 7, voters will consider a $3 million bond for Lawson R-XIV Schools. This bond will NOT increase your current tax rate, but it will expand opportunities for our students.
Why it matters:
Since 2020, 40% of our graduating seniors each year have chosen to enter the workforce directly. This bond will expand hands-on learning to meet the needs of these students while preparing all learners for:
*Hands-On Learning
*Career Readiness
*Workforce Development
*Leadership Growth
With this investment, students gain real-world skills, strengthen career and technical pathways, and build leadership skills, preparing them for college, careers, or military service.
PLEASE VOTE - April 7th
We’re proud to recognize our seven dedicated Lawson R-XIV Board of Education members for their leadership, service, and commitment to our students, staff, and community.

We are so close to hitting our district-wide goal. Check out where we stand as of today:
💡 Why that 0.7% matters:
Reaching 95% isn't just a number on a spreadsheet; it represents hundreds of extra hours of collaboration, hands-on learning, and shared memories. When you are here, the energy in our hallways changes for the better.
🌟 How we get there:
The "One More Day" Mindset: If you're feeling that mid-term fatigue, just focus on winning the day.
Support Your Circle: Encourage your friends and classmates. We reach this milestone as a team, or not at all!
Celebrate the Streak: Let’s see which building can be the first to cross the 95% line this month!
Let’s make it happen. See you tomorrow!

Agriculture Learning Lab - No Tax Rate Increase Bond
As we continue conversations with our community about the upcoming bond issue to construct a new Agriculture Learning Lab, we know many people have questions about the project, its need, and how it would benefit our students.
To provide clear information, we’ve put together a Frequently Asked Questions document that explains the facility's purpose, how it supports hands-on learning opportunities for our students, and the components of a No Tax Rate Increase Bond Issue.
We encourage everyone to take a few minutes to review the information and learn more about our district's vision for expanding agricultural education.
