David Glasner is the superintendent of the Shaker Heights City School District, a position which he has held since July 1, 2019. Glasner first served as principal of the Shaker Heights Middle School, then Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction for the Shaker Heights City School District, and as interim Principal of Shaker Heights High School.

Glasner became superintendent after a tumultuous school year for the community of the Shaker Heights City School District, marked with a fire at Fernway Elementary School, a controversy over the questionable reprimanding of an English teacher , and the reassignment of Shaker Heights High School principal Jonathan Kuenhle after an investigation into accusations of alcoholism and inappropriate remarks regarding race and gender. These issues culminated on November 8, 2018 when a scheduled community meeting attracted over 900 dissatisfied community members and devolved into an airing of grievances against the administration of the district, with audience members disrupting the meeting frequently. Further pain was added when teacher Aisha Fraser was murdered by her estranged husband Judge Lance Mason on November 17, 2018.

Glasner was selected as superintendent of the Shaker Heights School District on March 14, 2019 from a pool of two finalists after a national search. Glasner was selected after the other finalist, Elizabeth Kirby, was hired by the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District as their next superintendent.

Glasner's tenure has been marked with initiatives aimed at restoring trust between community members and the administration of the schools. Glasner has named equity and the achievement gap between students depending on race/ethnicity as the two central issues plaguing the Shaker Heights City School District. Glasner's accomplishments have included the implementation of the district's 1:1 Chromebook plan, the hiring of Eric Juli as principal of the Shaker Heights High School , and the reorganization of the central administration of the school district.
