He will partner with the Missouri Capital Asset Advantage Treasury (MOCAAT) to serve school districts throughout the state of Missouri. Dr. Jungmann’s exceptional experience and commitment will allow MOCAAT to further its relationship as a trusted partner to local Missouri school districts.
Dr. Jungmann has served as a strategic and visionary leader in Missouri schools for the last 23 years.

During his tenure, Dr. Jungmann has championed efforts to support students and school districts through advocacy, collaboration and partnership. His efforts include engagement with legislators, advocating for full funding of the foundation formula and against provisions that could drain valuable resources from Missouri schools.
Dr. Jungmann has demonstrated his commitment to supporting Missouri school administrators by serving as President of the Missouri Association of School Administrators, and as a member of the American Association of School Administrators Governing Board and Executive Committee. In addition, he has been recognized by his peers on multiple occasions, including being named Missouri Superintendent of the Year by the Missouri Association of School Administrators in 2017, Administrator of the Year by the Missouri School Public Relations Association in 2016, and most recently receiving the MASA Pearce Award in the spring of 2019.

He is a 1998 graduate of Missouri Southern State University and obtained his Master of Science in education and Specialist in educational administration degrees from Missouri State University. He earned a doctorate in education from the University of Arkansas in 2006.
“I look forward to continuing to provide for Missouri students through my service with PMA and MOCAAT,” Jungmann said. “Throughout my time serving in Missouri schools, I have sought ways to maximize resources and identify efficiencies to ensure local communities have received the greatest impact from their investment into public schools. I look forward to continuing this effort in this new opportunity with PMA.”
“We believe this is a major step forward for the MOCAAT program. John’s recognized service to public education in Missouri for more than two decades will be an asset to districts across the state,” said Jim Davis, Chief Executive Officer of PMA.
Dr. Jungmann will be based out of PMA’s Saint Louis office. Along with the entire MOCAAT team, which will include Jason Hoffman beginning this summer, John will be traveling regularly throughout the state. Please join us in welcoming John to PMA and MOCAAT.
