Westport’s superintendent of schools Thomas Scarice stopped by the Westport Library the other day, for a return visit to “06880: The Podcast.”
As another school year begins, we discussed a host of issues: moving beyond COVID; students’ mental health; social and emotional learning; parents’ roles, rights and responsibilities; police and security; buses and start times, and much more.
As always, the schools’ chief administrator was direct, clear, and armed with plenty of real-life examples.

Thanks for the great interview with Tom Scarice. When he praised our teachers for their overtime devotion I choked up. Thousands of kids appreciate their Westport education and Scarice carries on this fine tradition.
