My name is Ginger Schaaf, and I am announcing my candidacy for the D38 Board of Education District 3 position. My family joined the Monument community two years ago after nearly 20 years of moving for my husband’s military career. We have two children in the D38 school system and have been extremely satisfied with the education and programs made available to them. I have been fortunate to have a professional career with the same company during the past 12 years of our final military moves, involving a combination of in-person and remote work. I am now happy to be back to working in-person and look forward to contributing to my community.
Our family chose D38 because of its established standards of excellence. I was raised by an educator who had a passion for teaching. Throughout our military moves, we have experienced a variety of school districts. I hope to use these perspectives to benefit the community.
I would appreciate your support on Nov. 4.

If you truly value the education your kids received in D38, then why are you running to change everything based on extreme rightwing politics based on believing utter propaganda and cantankerous rhetoric like grooming and litter boxes and accusing others of wanting in-school surgeries for sex changes? Do you hear how ridiculous that sounds, having absolutely no place in a school board race nor education? None of that is happening nor will it ever because it’s lies and fear-mongering talking points to libel opponents, nothing more.
Why not focus on how to improve kids’ educational experience instead of bringing radicalized notions, extreme rhetoric, and just utter lies to the race? This community doesn’t deserve this type of mud-slinging, so why not run on your educational and leadership bonafides instead of disgusting topics completely unrelated to education in any way?

Hello Bill,
I have not, nor will I ever make those types of statements. I am unaware of this group that is pushing this agenda and do not support their statements. My campaign will be associated with positive, truthful, non-partisan statements
I am running to continue to improve the educational experience that my children and other students should receive from the D38 School District. Our teachers and administrators need our support, and I intend to provide this.
As previously stated, I do not condone these statements nor do I support them. I hope that as this campaign continues you will hear what I have to say and what my platform is, not the statements of an outside group that I do not support.
Regards,
Ginger Schaaf

So are you disclaiming responsibility for the card I just got in the mail quoting you as saying “My family chose Monument after leaving Washington when liberal policies destroyed our schools and communities. We can’t let that happen to Monument.” Those don’t sound like truthful non-partisan statements to me, quite the opposite .
