The Wayne Central School District was formed on April 29, 1949, as the consolidation of 19 rural and 2 union free districts in portions of the towns of Macedon, Ontario, Walworth and Williamson in Wayne County and Penfield and Webster in Monroe County. In 1972, a portion of the district in the southwest became part of the then-new Gananda Central School District.

The student-teacher ratio is 20-23:1(elementary), 21-23:1(middle-high school). [2]

The District motto is "Commitment to Excellence".

At the November 16th, 2016 meeting, the Board of Education voted to close Freewill Elementary School and reconfigure the remaining grades into K-2 at Ontario Primary, 3-4 at Ontario Elementary, 5-8 at the Middle School, and 9-12 at the High School. The Board cited a prolonged period of declining enrollment in the district as well as looming financial pressures as reasons for the closure of Freewill. Due to the large drop in enrollment, the closure of Freewill was not expected to affect existing class sizes as the district would take advantage of previously underutilized space in the remaining elementary schools to accommodate the students from Freewill.

Board of education

The Board of Education (BOE) consists of nine members who serve rotating three-year terms. Elections are held each May for board members and to vote on the School District budget. [3]
