Parents United for Freedom PAC has raised more than $10,700 to back three candidates for the North East ISD school board.
The Parents United for Freedom political action committee has raised more than $10,000 to back three candidates running for the North East Independent School District board. The PAC's self-proclaimed goal is to"defend and protect parental rights within the school system and to reclaim our schools from the harmful agendas being promoted.
The largest contribution of $10,000 to Parents United for Freedom came from Jason DeSouza, a local injury attorney. He did not respond to a request for comment. Paula Hilliard, wife to District 6 trustee Steve Hilliard, donated $200 to the PAC. Steve Hilliard also did not respond to a request for comment.
District 2 trustee Terri Williams, who is seeking a second term, said she doesn’t know much about the PAC but understands it wants parents to have more say in school issues. She said the board has listened to parents at meetings, such as at the six-hour meeting in August when trustees voted 5-1 toafter listening to more than 100 parents. Hilliard cast the sole dissenting vote.
“PACs that are focused on single issues lose sight of the larger issues involved with educating a diverse student population. There is not a one-size-fits-all answer in public education,” she said. “My experience on the board has taught me the importance of doing my homework to discover who is behind any political group or special interest group. We need to assure the agendas they are pushing truly support all students in our district and benefit their education.
According to the most recent campaign finance reports, the incumbents raised more money than the three candidates backed by Parents United for Freedom.
