The Walton Central School District community went to the polls Tuesday and voted to reject the district’s proposed capital project.
The two-proposition project would have totaled $24,082,000 and would have covered moving and upgrading the bus garage to the Stockton Avenue campus, as well as important upgrades such as elevator replacements at all three buildings, replacement of boilers at the middle/high school, and a new secure vestibule at Townsend Elementary. The second proposition, which could only pass if the first proposition passed, would have created a new paved drop-off loop at the front of Townsend. The first proposition was priced at $22,750,000, and the second at $1,332,000.
The final vote was:
Proposition 1:
Yes: 338
No: 360
Proposition 2 (could not pass without passing of proposition 1:
Yes: 331
No: 363
