Superintendent
Hello, Minnetonka Community!
I’m David Law, Superintendent of Schools. As we close out the school year, I want to invite you to watch my video message above. In it, I reflect on the end of the year and the strong finish our students have had.

“It is my great honor to serve the students and families of Minnetonka Public Schools.
