Hello, I'm Liberty Schaff, a lifelong Quincy resident. I grew up in House NAC and I currently own a home in Germantown with my husband and family. I went through Quincy Public Schools and I believe it's a great system but I feel a responsibility to do my part to give back and work to make it the best system it can be. I have the experience, the passion and the commitment to our young people to make a contribution as a member in our school committee. My experience as a parent and advocate has run a gamut of educational needs from children in the accelerated learning program to others requiring individual education plans. As a mother of six, I became involved in Quincy Public Schools as a member of the Atherton Howe PTO 15 years ago when my first child was enrolled. Since then, I have served in almost every role on the PTO including president. I currently have children at all levels in the Quincy Public School system. Elementary, middle and high school. I've worked hard to ensure that my children have had the best experience as possible and received the services they need as individuals. And I want to bring that same passion to our school committee. In my wide ranging roles, I have served on hiring committees for new principals and I have built strong working relationships with teachers, administrators and support staff across the school system. Every child is different, every child needs are different. I believe in supporting and educating every child as an individual. Quincy has a wonderfully unique and diverse population. I believe that all family dynamics deserve a voice in our school committee. I believe strongly in teaching honesty, integrity and treating everyone with respect and kindness. The values that are the heart of strong families and a strong community. Please put me to work for your kids. I respectfully request your vote September 14th and November 2nd. Thank you.
