That’s a mission he shares with his colleagues.
“I am passionate about bringing the right tools at the right time to students, teachers, and staff,” Campbell said.
Bud Hunt, PSD chief technology officer, said Campbell brings a wealth of technology and industry experience to the team, as well as a deep understanding of the needs of the IT team. Hunt said Campbell is a “people person as well as a technologist.”
