Steve Stands with Families

In my life, I have had the blessing of serving our next generation of leaders in every role. As a principal, as a pastor, as a parent, and managing a business that employs dozens of young men and women. Our kids need us now more than ever and I believe I am called to serve them and be a voice for families on the Knox County Board of Education. We need to invest more in our infrastructure and school buildings, as well as safety measures that keep our kids safe and put a school resource officer in every school. We need to pay our teachers more, while also holding them and school leaders accountable for our children’s academic success.

We need to make strategic investments that improve our historically low literacy rates and teach our students skills for college and career. That means career and technical training for vocational careers and building a strong future workforce for our community.

Most importantly, families and students must come first. Not the political whims of the school board or unelected judges. All students in Knox County should have the opportunity to attend a great school. Anything short of that is a failure to our next generation. I will work my hardest every day to make this a reality and always be a voice for Knox County families!

Knox County Students Deserve Better Than What They Are Getting. It's Going to Take All Of Us.

Together, we can make a brighter future for every student in Knox County. Join our team to hold schools and leaders accountable, advance student achievement, and prepare Knox kids for college, career, and community.
