QUINCY – Ron Iacobucci, 47, today announced his candidacy for the Quincy School Committee. “As a parent with three children, I have a strong commitment to the success of the Quincy Public School System. Many important issues face our school system today. An open seat on the School Committee provides an opportunity for new leadership. I will bring a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience acquired in both the public and private sector as well as a record of getting things done on issues involving children and education. My background, together with my energy and enthusiasm will give me the ability to work with the current School Committee to promote positive change for the children, parents, dedicated teachers and taxpayers of Quincy,” said Iacobucci.
A graduate of Boston College with a degree in communication and political science, Iacobucci is the newly appointed CEO of the South Shore and Neponset Valley Community Foundation, a nonprofit organization that will oversee the popular Mini-Fenway Park Project. Iacobucci is a parent of three school aged children that are in or about to enter the school system. “My wife and I are blessed but we have also been challenged. Our youngest child has been diagnosed as autistic, so we have a strong interest in special needs,” said Iacobucci. “As a student leader and graduate of the Quincy Public Schools, I was encouraged over thirty years ago to run for School Committee. I didn’t run at that time, but a wife and three kids can change your whole perspective on what matters most. Education is now what matters most and with the help of the voters of Quincy, who have given me their support in the past, I will make a difference for all our children as a member of the School Committee,” said Iacobucci.
“I know at this time everyone is thinking about the war and praying for the men and women defending our freedom and democracy. I am confident that we will soon be able to focus on what is important to us locally. I will run a campaign of ideas. Ideas that will make a difference for our school system,” said Iacobucci. Iacobucci is in the process of completing the initial fundraising that will help deliver his message to the voters. “My message will include: my ideas, my position on issues that face our school system and my qualifications for School Committee. Iacobucci will shortly announce what he calls a “very impressive campaign team”. “I have always campaigned on the importance of accessibility. It is extremely important that an elected public official be available to listen to people and address their concerns.
I will continue to do that as a candidate and as a member of the School Committee,” said Iacobucci.
John Adams expressed the value of education over 200 years ago. “Education makes a greater difference between one person and another. It should be your care, therefore, and mine to elevate the minds of our children and encourage an ambition to excel in every
capacity, faculty and virtue. For if we suffer their minds they will truly suffer all their lives.”
“We all need to work together and dedicate ourselves to this value of education so that our children have the opportunity to pursue their dreams,” said Iacobucci.
