2026 No Tax Rate Increase Bond Passes
Thank you to our school community for your support in advancing expanded hands-on learning opportunities for our students.
The next phase of the project begins immediately, as we move into the design process, turning the vision of our now-approved Agriculture Learning Lab into a reality.
Our goal remains to be prepared for construction to begin in fall 2026, with the space ready for student use by August 2027.
#WeAreLawson
We look forward to welcoming students and staff back to school tomorrow. Tomorrow is also Election Day, with polls open from 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
This coming Tuesday, April 7, we are asking our community to cast their vote to help provide clear direction for the future of real-world learning opportunities for our students. As we continue developing meaningful, hands-on experiences, your voice will help guide how we meet the evolving needs of our students and prepare them for success beyond the classroom.
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

🚀 The Final Push to 95%!
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!
