School Committee

Welcome to the home page of the Westport School Committee. The Westport School Committee is committed to providing thoughtful, transparent governance in support of a high-quality public education for every student in our community. As elected representatives, we are entrusted with setting district policy, approving the school budget, and hiring and evaluating the Superintendent, who leads the day-to-day operations of our schools.

We believe strong public schools are built through genuine partnership among educators, families, students, and community members. Your voice plays a vital role in shaping the future of Westport education, and we welcome your engagement as we work to make sound decisions that serve our students, support our staff, strengthen our community, and uphold responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars.

Below, you will find information on school committee meetings, district policies, and our contact information.

We value public participation and thoughtful feedback. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or resident, your engagement strengthens the committee's work and our school district. Thank you for your partnership and support in making Westport’s schools a place where every child can thrive.

With gratitude and a shared commitment to excellence,

Christopher Thrasher
Westport School Committee Chair 2025-2026
