All Walton County School System employees should report to work on their regular schedule on Monday, October 15^th.  Students will not report back to school until Tuesday, October 16^th due to the scheduled teacher workday on Monday. The need for the closures on Friday are due to several factors.

• Over 15,000 Walton County residents remain without power
