I always enjoy chatting with Tom Scarice.
Westport’s superintendent of schools is straightforward, insightful, articulate and on-target.
He does not shy away from controversy. He understands there are many sides to every story. He backs up what he says with facts, along with relatable stories and anecdotes.
Scarice’s recent visit to “06880: The Podcast” did not disappoint.
He tackled an important, contentious topic — cellphones in schools — with clarity and honesty. He offered plenty of ideas, from a wide variety of angles, while acknowledging the complexity of the issue.
Scarice knows that many discussions lie ahead: in schools and district offices; at Board of Education and PTA meetings, and on this blog.
Our conversation at the Westport Library is a great start. Click below to listen, and learn:
