Wilton Public Schools Board of Education

The Wilton Board of Education is pleased to be the bridge between the community and the schools. The Board of Education is responsible for governing the schools. The six-member board is elected for four-year staggered terms.

The e-mail addresses of the Board members are listed under "Members of the Board of Education". We encourage you to send any thoughts or comments to all members of the Board of Education. To contact all members with one email. Please use the following address: boe@wiltonps.org

The Board of Education relies on input from the voters to help it make informed decisions about what is right for Wilton. Letters and emails are always welcome, but please remember that all communications sent to Town boards and officials become part of the public record and are subject to legal requirements for disclosure and retention.

Since all communications are an important part of the public dialog, we ask you to include your name and postal address. Emails should include a full message in the body, not just a summary in the subject line. Emails sent to boe@wiltonps.org will go to all board members.

Board of Education meeting agendas and minutes can be accessed through the BoardDocs menu below. Meetings can be viewed on our YouTube Channel and on Optimum Channel 78.

Thank you for participating in the Town's decision-making process.
