Advocating for his children’s education takes top priority in his family. He appreciates school choice and becoming a partner in his child’s education. He understands the importance of his child working in an environment that values innovation, along with staff and teachers who offer greater flexibility to meet his child’s needs. Having a child with special needs of his own, he is dedicated and devoted to full inclusion, and believes diversity enriches all children in and out of the classroom. All children should be allowed to thrive in a school that best suits their needs, and Mr. Stevens is deeply committed in helping to bring that philosophy to the surrounding community, and beyond.
