MASA Superintendent Running for President of AASA!

If you are a member of AASA, in February you will have the opportunity to vote for Minnetonka Superintendent David Law who is running for President of the AASA. Superintendent Law has been President of MASA, the 2020 MASA Superintendent of the Year and currently serves on the AASA Executive Committee. He has been an administrator in White Bear Lake Area Schools, and served as Superintendent of Anoka-Hennepin prior to becoming the Superintendent at Minnetonka Public Schools. 

Superintendent Law has the kind of experience necessary to be successful in the role of President of AASA and our state would benefit greatly from his leadership in this influential position.

Look for a ballot from AASA in February and be sure to vote!
