Cobbs will bring ‘globally aware perspective’

Liz has distinguished herself for her authenticity, her capacity to respect diverse viewpoints, and her work ethic.

We write to support Liz Cobbs and endorse her candidacy for School Committee. Liz exemplifies service to community. Over the past several years she has embraced the hard work necessary to support important Acton initiatives — on the Town’s Personnel Committee, with school-based groups, with the Rotary Club, and more. We are fortunate to have her among us.

Liz has distinguished herself for her authenticity, her capacity to respect diverse viewpoints, and her work ethic. We are pleased that she is attending School Committee meetings and is willing to do the homework so that her perspectives are grounded in facts. Her educational training and professional career have prepared her well, and she also brings the lens of a loving parent to her desire to serve on the School Committee. 

Please visit her website, www.lizforConcord.org, and learn about Liz. Attend a local coffee with her and share your questions and concerns. Review the video of the recent candidates’ forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters (at Minuteman Media) and learn about the way she leans into our hopes and concerns. We believe that you will find her to be unusually forthright. You will always know how she arrives at decisions to support our students, teachers, and families. 

Liz will help us build strong relationships between the School Committee and other groups and committees in Acton and Carlisle. She will contribute creative and effective approaches to the mounting fiscal pressures that we must solve in order to preserve and improve the exemplary education we owe our children. Liz Cobbs will ensure the School Committee brings an informed, compassionate, and globally aware perspective to the work.
