Executive talent

Prior Lake schools' hire has a lifetime of experience

The new superintendent considers her efforts as a teacher, a librarian, an administrator and a mother -- as well as her love of kids -- relevant to her new job. Sue Ann Gruver apparently has never gotten over being a librarian. The incoming Prior Lake-Savage superintendent has four shelves and a file cabinet drawer of books in her office at Mahtomedi Public Schools, where she is assistant superintendent. Any visitor to her office leaves with a book recommendation. "Books just open doors for us," Gruver said last week. "There are so many ways to learn about everything." Two weeks ago, the Prior Lake-Savage school board offered Gruver the job to replace Superintendent Tom Westerhaus, who is leaving at the end of the school year because a district employee fired on his recommendation was later elected to the school board.
