Williamson County Former Police Officer, Mother Of Six Joins Race For School Board

Debbie Pace Press Release:

District Six resident Debbie Pace, a former police officer and mother of six, made the decision to run for office after attending numerous school board and committee meetings. 

She discovered, “Parent’s voices were not being heard.”  This was not how she felt government should  work, especially on a local level.  Pace goes on to say, “The relationship between the school board, teachers, and community, is clearly broken. We are in dire need of elected officials willing to work together to address tough issues such as parents’ rights, curriculum that is age-appropriate and not anti-American, teacher attrition, and the rapid growth in Williamson County, all of which impacts the education and future of all our children.”

Pace was further motivated when it became clear that the current School Board was not successfully representing the voices and traditional values of District Six.  She cites that the Board voted to keep a curriculum they publicly acknowledged contained material which was “heavier than many of the kids can really handle at their age.” 

That material – for grades K-5 – contains rape, incest, and coercive sex, graphic descriptions of death, cannibalism, alcoholism, and extreme emotions in books for very young children, in many cases set against a condemnation of White people and our Founding Fathers. Pace points out, “My School Board Member and others voted to keep this curriculum in our schools.” 

A staunch Republican, Pace is running as an Independent in this race because, says Pace, “I am tired of the politicization of our schools by special interest groups, unions, and book publishing organizations with agendas that most parents in Williamson County would not approve of if they knew about them. Our children are not political chattel and the adults in the room need to remember they have been given the awesome responsibility of developing the next generation in our great county.  Education is not political but indoctrination is.”

A graduate of MTSU with a Bachelor of Science degree which included studies in Sociology, Psychology and Criminal Justice, and a graduate of two Police Academies, Pace has been happily married to her college sweetheart, John, for nearly 30 years, and moved to Brentwood 23 years ago.  She served in Law Enforcement, in the Metro Nashville and Brentwood Police Departments, for nine years. Pace feels honored to be a mother of six children, who have all attended Williamson County Public Schools.  “As a parent, former homeschool teacher, and a taxpayer, I know what it’s like to be on both sides of that chalkboard. I will never take your vote for granted.”  

Pace seeks to gain the support and the vote of District Six constituents who are concerned about their community and their children’s future.
