Director and CEO, Todd Reeves

 


Todd Reeves, JD/MS, became the Executive Director and CEO of Overbrook School for the Blind in July of 2017.
 

Reeves came to OSB from the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children where he served as Executive Director and Superintendent since 2007. Reeves previously served as Superintendent of the Washington School for the Deaf in Vancouver beginning in 2003. Originally from Eugene, Oregon, Reeves received his undergraduate degree from Pacific University with a major in communication disorders. He received a master's degree in 1988 in deaf education and clinical audiology at Lamar University in Texas and began his career as a speech language pathologist and teacher at the Washington School for the Deaf, where he served for five years. Reeves then attended the University of Washington in Seattle, receiving a J.D. from the School of Law and an educational administration certificate from their College of Education in 1996.

After short stints as the Principal of the Oregon School for the Deaf and Special Education Program Administrator in the Peninsula School District (Gig Harbor, WA), Reeves first became the Assistant Director, then Director of Special Education for the Tacoma (WA) Public Schools, where he was responsible for resolving all special education disputes and rectifying compliance challenges. After five years in Tacoma, Reeves reduced litigation costs by over 80% and resolved all challenging compliance issues. Reduced litigation costs allowed for more staffing and programming for the 4,400 special education students TPS served.

Washington State Governor Gary Locke then tapped Reeves to be the Superintendent of the Washington School for the Deaf, which at the time was facing calls for closure by the legislature due to multiple lawsuits alleging negligent supervision in keeping children safe in a residential environment. Three years later, Governor Christine Gregoire asked Reeves to present at the annual “Governor’s Leadership Conference”, describing for other state agency administrators how data-driven decisions substantially improved student safety, school culture and the school’s reputation state-wide.

In his position at OSB, Reeves oversees Overbrook School for the BlindMr. Reeves at Mt. Killamanjaro’s educational programs for babies to young adults, including day and residential students enrolled in on-campus programs, and public school students served by OSB’s special educators in their local schools. In addition, Reeves manages all aspects of OSB’s operations, budget and finance, development, facility management, and human resources.

An outdoor enthusiast, Reeves pursues hiking and mountain climbing. His successful first attempt at climbing Mount Kilimanjaro where he held up an Overbrook School for the Blind sign at the summit was completed on White Cane Safety Day, a national observance of the achievements of people who are blind or visually impaired.
