Mountain View School Division (MVSD) is on the hunt for a new superintendent/CEO as Dan Ward is leaving the division at the end of the school year.

“I’ve taken a position with Garden Valley School Division, which starts in July. I’ll be their superintendent, effective this summer,” Ward said.

When the opportunity came up, Ward discussed the options with his family and they felt this was a good time to move.

“It was an incredibly difficult decision. I really love working for Mountain View. I have been here for seven years, four years as assistant superintendent and three years as superintendent,” he said “The people here are great and work for a very supportive board. But at the end of the day we felt it was a new opportunity and I put my application in and was selected for the position.”

Ward’s last day with MVSD is July 15.
