About Me

My photo
Stephen Dyer
I am currently the Education Policy Fellow at Innovation Ohio. I also practice law in the Akron, Ohio area. Prior to this, I was the State Rep. for the area and was the Chief Legislative Architect for Ohio's Evidence Based Model of school funding, among other things. It won a national award for being the country's most "bold, courageous, non-partisan" education reform of 2009. Prior to that, I was a reporter with the Akron Beacon Journal and won several statewide awards, as well as a Pulitzer Prize nomination in 2003. The opinions I express here are mine, not Innovation Ohio's. Oh, and my wife, Melissa and I have developed an obsession for Hallmark Christmas movies. Don't ask.
