Former buildings

Benedict School at 134 Benedict Avenue is now home of the Board of Education offices.^[14] It was closed in either 1980 or 1981 along with Bronson-Norwalk.^[15] In the 1970s, NCSD tried grade "clustering" in their system and paired Benedict with Bronson-Norwalk. Benedict would house grades K-3 and then send those students to Bronson-Norwalk for 4-6. The same was done with League (K-3) and Pleasant (4-6), while Maplehurst housed K-6 during this time.
Bronson-Norwalk Township School used to stand at 66 Townline Road 151.^[16] It was also closed in 1981 after 43 years of service.^[17] The Norwalk Virus (aka Norovirus) was named after an outbreak here in 1968.
East Main Street School at East Main St. and Old State Rd. is currently a private residence.^[18]

Technology

The Norwalk High School One-to-One project has been developed over several years focusing on a specific class and providing additional training for that instructor. The project involves using a tablet computer (iPad) which allows students and staff the opportunity to enter information with the conventional keyboard or with an active stylus that allows students to write or ink their work much like a piece of paper and a pencil. Because of this, physical materials such as pens, paper, and textbooks are no longer required.
