Candidate Information Sheet
Name: Elizabeth “Libby” Corbo
Office Seeking: School Committee (Candidate for Re-Election)
Address: 70 Cape Cod Lane
Telephone Number: 781-336-6275
Length of Residency: 16 years
Please list relevant experience (education, vocation, etc) you feel will be
useful in the office you are seeking.
I am currently a member of the Hanover School Committee. I have served
three terms on the Hanover School Committee (2011 – 2014, 2015 – 2018,
2018-2021), taking a year off to begin my tenure as Chair of the Center
School Building Committee. In these capacities, I have worked diligently to
improve our public education in Hanover, including the hiring of new school
administrators, advocating for increases in our school budget to ensure our
schools are properly funded with greater transparency for taxpayers,
implementing full-day kindergarten, construction and renovation of the
Center Elementary School, the reconfiguration of our elementary schools and
re-structuring our educational framework during the pandemic. In addition
to my involvement with the schools, I am an active volunteer in the
community, currently President and Founder of A Simple Gesture – Hanover,
which ensures consistent and predictable donations to the Hanover Food
Pantry and Vice-President of the Hanover Food Pantry. Prior to my service
on the School Committee, I worked at Kopelman and Paige, as a public sector
municipal attorney with primary areas of practice being employment / labor
and school law.
What are the major issues confronting the town which involve your office?
Please express your opinion on these issues and how you propose to deal
with them.
The well-being and education of our children, while always a Hanover
priority, has been at the forefront of community discussion this past year.
The hard work of many provided Hanover with a strong school and town-wide
infrastructure which allowed our school district to be a state-wide leader
in providing educational access for remote learning, as well as forging a
safe return to schools. While this past year has been unprecedented, the
next year(s) will also present significant challenges as our educational
system recovers. Moving forward, our focus must be on providing students
with stability, mental health support and compensation for lost learning
time. Accountability, instructional standards, and effective curriculum are
critical. I believe my years of service on the committee, experience and
knowledge of the educational system, my devotion to the best interests of
students and my demonstrated ability to successfully advocate for our
schools and students benefit our schools, students, and families.
Why are you running for this office?
Second only to a loving home, a strong education is the most important
resource you can provide a child. Our students deserve the best resources,
exciting learning opportunities and most importantly, a safe place to
learn. I am passionate about education, devoted to our community and
consistently put the best interests of our students before all else.
