MEET KENNETHA
A parent. An advocate.
A proven leader.
I'm Kennetha Stevens, and serving the students and families of Stockton Unified has always been about more than a title.
As a mother, parent educator, community advocate, and your elected Area 7 Trustee, I understand the importance of public schools that see every child, welcome every family, and prepare students for a meaningful future.
I've had the privilege of serving as Board President and working with fellow trustees, educators, and community partners. My focus remains the same: student achievement, fiscal responsibility, safety, and stronger family engagement.
“Our students deserve leadership that listens, does the work, and keeps their future at the center of every decision.”— Kennetha StevensCONNECT WITH KENNETHA
