He then pursued graduate studies while teaching English at inner-city high schools in Los Angeles. During this five-year tenure, Steele developed a profound belief in education as the cornerstone of sociopolitical reform, inspiring his passion for integrity and effective social organization.Following his teaching career, Steele joined the LA Weekly, where his investigative reporting uncovered systemic dysfunction within the Los Angeles Unified School District. His impactful work led to his appointment by the California Legislature, where he served as Director of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee. Armed with subpoena power, Steele investigated statewide public school issues, identifying patterns of inefficiency at both local and systemic levels.In this capacity, Steele co-chaired public hearings, produced legislative reports held by leading university and law libraries, and contributed to significant reforms. His efforts directly influenced the passage of four California state laws governing public school construction.Steele's commitment to education and reform is also reflected in his published works, including Road to Belmont, where he examines the critical link between effective administration and student success.view less
