David Trzepacz Running For Melrose School Committee

MELROSE, MA – David Trzepacz is running for Melrose School Committee, he announced on Monday.

“I’m running for School Committee because we need to move from ideas to action,” Trzepacz said in a news release.

Trzepacz said he plans to work with the committee, district, and city to better understand needs, the trade-offs, and to develop a multi-year, fiscally responsible plan to address Melrose public schools’ structural deficit, close the educator salary gap, and achieve educational excellence.

Trzepacz received a bachelor’s in Economics from Hamilton College. He comes to the school committee position with over 20 years’ experience leading organizational transformations and realizing tangible customer, operational, and financial results.

“I’m a people leader that enables teams through transparent communication, clear priority setting, empowerment, and active resolution of issues,” Trzepacz said. “I’ve negotiated multi-million dollar contracts, I’ve managed both large and restricted budgets, and I’ve worked through difficult people dynamics to realize our goals.”

Trzepacz and his wife Melissa have three children in the Melrose school district – Paige in elementary, Annabella in middle school, and Sidney in high school.

“We see the positives and the challenges each day, same as you,” he said. “I am running to move the discussion from talking about our fiscal challenges and the importance of education to taking the actions needed to realize our ambitions.”

Trzepacz encourages Melrose community members to reach him at daveformelrose@gmail.com. He will also be at the parklet outside the Melrose Starbucks most Sundays from 8-9am. You can learn more about him on his website.
