Restoring trust, standards, and common sense.
Steve Aylward is focused on restoring Great Valley School District’s reputation for excellence by addressing real challenges with practical, balanced solutions.
Accountability & Action
GVSD has experienced a culture of inaction and declining standards. From high-profile incidents to falling rankings, it’s clear that business as usual isn’t working. Steve believes school leadership must respond with urgency, transparency, and accountability.
- Addressing incidents like the TikTok video swiftly and seriously
- Setting measurable goals for improvement and oversight
Common Sense
Steve believes parents deserve a say in their child’s education and that schools should uphold policies grounded in logic, clarity, and fairness.
- Ensuring schools respect parental roles in key decisions
- Reviewing policies like GVSD’s 103.3 for transgender transparency
- Advocating for clear, consistent restroom and privacy guidelines
- Restoring mid-terms and finals to raise standards and prepare students for success.
Balance and Representation
With a school board currently composed of nine Democrats, many community voices are being left out of the conversation. Steve believes in a more balanced, representative board that reflects the full spectrum of Great Valley families.
