Executive Board 2025-2026
Our Executive Board is made up of hard-working parents who are elected each spring to serve for the following academic year. They meet regularly with district administrators to advise on matters that affect the education and safety of students and participate in the planning, development, and evaluation of special education programs in WPS. Get to know their names and faces, and feel free to ask them if you have questions.
Co-Chair: Eve Aguilar and Jael Maack
Secretary: Ali Horowitz
Treasurer: Dabney Baum
School Wellness Advisory Committee 2025-2026
The SEPAC has a representative on the WPS SWAC. Massachusetts law requires that each school district establish a SWAC comprised of school staff and concerned community representatives to recommend, review, and help implement school district policies addressing school nutrition, nutrition education, physical education, physical activity, and related issues that affect student health. Read more about the SWAC here.
The SWAC meets at least 4 times per year. This year's meetings are in the process of being scheduled.
School Representatives 2025-2026
