Superintendent

Dan Hoverman's career with Mounds View Public Schools spans 37 years of management experience at all school levels, including positions as school psychologist, special education director, executive director of curriculum and deputy superintendent. In 2007, the School Board named him Superintendent.

As Superintendent, Hoverman has championed a variety of efforts to enhance the personalization of public school education through innovation and data-driven decision-making that allows Mounds View to consistently rank among the Top 10 highest-performing districts in the state.

Under his leadership, the District has provided every middle and high school student with an online Personal Learning Plan and lowered the student-to-support-staff ratio with a more personalized dean model. Hoverman also spearheaded an effort that enables all District juniors to take the ACT exam onsite, free of charge. With his guidance, Mounds View Public Schools welcomed the return of World Language instruction in the middle schools and launched a series of online blended courses in the high schools, including a revamped e-Area Learning Center that emphasizes learning with technology through a blend of online learning courses and classroom-based activities.

Hoverman is also credited for establishing school accountability plans and the District's version of the Q-comp alternative compensation system. His fiscal management of the District's $170 million budget targets dollars to the priorities of keeping class sizes as low as possible and maintaining comprehensive academic and co-curricular programs for students.

Hoverman holds an M.A. in Educational Psychology (School Psychologist) from the University of Wisconsin River Falls and a Specialist Degree in Education Leadership from the University of St. Thomas.
