After seeing the conclusion of years of legal proceedings last year regarding Williamson Strong’s identity as a parents’ advocacy group, not an unregistered political action committee, the group has now officially formed a PAC.

“We have formally applied to be a PAC in order to raise funds for candidates who are genuine advocates for public schools,” the group wrote in a blog post last week, noting that it will be running for elections. for the Williamson County Schools Board of Education, Williamson. County Council of Commissioners and possibly also the Tennessee General Assembly and other local government agencies.

Williamson Strong is a WCS parent group, led by former WCS School Board member Anne McGraw, aimed at providing information on district activities and increasing parent engagement through its social media platforms and presence in line.

According to a recent blog post, one of the group’s goals with its PAC is to keep partisanship out of the school district, saying public education has recently become a “political playground.” The group’s recent social media posts are at odds with another vocal parent group in the community involved in school-related discussions: Moms for Liberty.

The decision to form a PAC comes about a year after the group saw the conclusion of a lawsuit dating back about six years.

In 2014, a former Williamson County Schools Board member, Susan Curlee, filed a 100-page complaint with the Tennessee Registry of Election Finance, claiming that Williamson Strong had engaged in political activities that would qualify him as PAC not registered. Several months later, after hearing the complaint, the registry fined the organization $ 5,000.

After Williamson Strong filed an appeal, an administrative judge ordered the charges to be dropped, but the organization wanted to go further, fighting for reimbursement of legal fees. After more than two years, a Tennessee judge ordered the state to pay Williamson Strong’s attorneys nearly $ 167,000.

Last year, a member of Williamson Strong told the Williamson Herald that the group’s goal from the start was to keep the public informed, which she said was accomplished along the way.
