Walton CSD alumni Jim Phraner (’03) has given back to his alma mater. Phraner, who owns Empire Metal Works, donated materials and supplies to make the district a new top section of the scoreboard on the football field. Phraner was a first-team Class C all-state lineman for Walton in 2002.
Thank you to Jim and his crew for this generous donation! It looks fantastic!

Walton CSD recently held its annual strategic planning session to develop and set priorities and objectives for the 2024-25 school year. Those involved with the collaborative session included teachers, administrators, support staff, community members, parents, and board of education members.

The Walton Central School District high school hosted its annual freshman orientation night Tuesday, welcoming incoming students and families.
The event provided an opportunity for students to meet their teachers before the start of the school year, and to get a preview of classes they will be taking. Additionally, students were able to familiarize themselves with the layout of the school, practice using their lockers, and learn where their classrooms are located.
The orientation also gave insight on what it takes to succeed in high school, including an explanation of credit requirements, and the different Regents diplomas, which helped to ease the transition and set the stage for a successful year ahead.

Construction at Townsend Elementary is coming along! The current project is currently on schedule and the district is in final preparations for the start of school year. Walton CSD will open on schedule – September 5 for students!
The project includes:
- The demolition of ceilings, classroom, and corridor walls in four second-floor fifth-grade classrooms, as well as an upstairs restroom. This allows for the removal and asbestos abatement of the original lightweight concrete floor deck system.
- Removal and replacement of ceilings in the cafeteria, four offices, a downstairs restroom, and a first-floor corridor to allow for removal of the second-floor deck, as well as installation of structural steel reinforcement before the installation of a new metal floor deck.
- Also, installation of a metal floor deck and pouring of a new lightweight concrete floor deck system, reconstruction and installation of new finishes within the second-floor fifth-grade wing classrooms and corridor; and installation of new unit ventilators within the second-floor fifth-grade classrooms.
As of August 9, all required demolition of existing finishes and systems, as well as the installation of structural steel, metal floor deck, and lightweight concrete have been completed.
In the upcoming weeks, the reconstruction of the first-floor ceilings will be completed, along with furnishing the classrooms and the final cleaning. The first-floor areas that are part of the project will be ready for use at the start of the 2024-25 school year.
Second-floor work in classrooms and corridor walls will continue into the school year, with the rooms and the corridor remaining unoccupied during the first half of the year. The anticipated finish date for this is November 2024.
