WILMINGTON, MA — Pending successful contract negotiations, Wilmington Assistant Superintendent Brian Reagan is set to become the next Superintendent for Waltham Public Schools effective July 1, 2020.
Reagan was selected by the Waltham School Committee at its meeting on Thursday, February 27, 2020. After a 5-1 vote, the School Committee chair called Reagan with the news.
Reagan has served as Wilmington’s Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Staff Development since July 2018, replacing Sean Gallagher, who left the district after two years to become Newburyport’s Superintendent.
Reagan was selected from a pool of 25 applicants. He was one of four finalists for Waltham’s top job, along with Braintree Superintendent Frank Hackett, North Middlesex Regional School District Superintendent Brad Morgan, and Sergio Paez, a school administrator from Rhode Island. Morgan served as the Waltham Middle School Principal for 5 years, from 2010 to 2015.
Reagan has nearly 20 years in education leadership, including as Bedford High School’s Assistant Principal, Shrewsbury High School’s Principal, and Hudson High School’s Principal. He holds degrees from Northeastern University (Ed.D.), University of Massachusetts – Boston (M.Ed.), and Boston University (B.A.)
Reagan was at the Wilmington School Committee meeting on Wednesday night and gave a presentation on how the state’s new Student Opportunity Act will impact Wilmington.
