The Itasca ISD school board held a special meeting on Monday morning in which they decided to take immediate action to suspend Stevens from his role.The school board appointed veteran Superintendent Keith Boles to serve as the interim superintendent starting Tuesday, June 6., the school board said it is confident that there are no connections between the allegations against Stevens and students at Itasca ISD.

Stevens is accused of sending explicit photos of himself while he was at work. He thought he was talking to a 15-year-old girl, but was actually talking to an undercover detective.The superintendent said he would consider divorcing his wife so he could marry the 15-year-old's mother to have access to the girl, prosecutors said.

If Stevens posts bond, he must submit to random drug testing, can't have any contact with anyone under 17 years old, and must install a software on his computer that monitors his activity.Investigators said the app Stevens used to communicate with the undercover persona is known to preserve user anonymity and allows users to register without a phone number or email address. The name of the app was not revealed.
