BURNSVILLE, MN — The assistant superintendent for ISD 191 will soon be the new superintendent for Waconia Public Schools, according to a news release from Waconia's school district. Brian Gersich will begin his new position July 1 once his contract is approved by the school board on May 16, Waconia Public Schools said.
