Jon Campopiano is leaving the San Ramon Valley Unified School District after more than a decade for the opportunity to lead a district in his hometown of Walnut Creek.
The Walnut Creek School District Board of Education on Monday confirmed a three-year superintendent contract with Campopiano, SRVUSD’s current executive director of secondary education and a former principal of Stone Valley Middle School in Alamo. He will succeed retiring Superintendent Marie Morgan on July 1.
“I believe a Superintendent must be a steady hand who leads with courage and character, listens more than they speak, and remains relentlessly focused on student achievement,” Campopiano said in a news release May 28 announcing him as WCSD’s finalist. “I am dedicated to nurturing a community that exceeds its goals through a unified, positive focus on the success of every student, turning complex challenges into clear results that move us forward.”
WCSD Board President Wenlei Johnson lauded Campopiano for a “relentless focus on students and his commitment to authentic engagement with our community made him the clear choice. We are confident his leadership will build on the district’s strengths and help move Walnut Creek School District forward.”
With six elementary schools and one intermediate school, WCSD serves about 3,600 students in transitional kindergarten through eighth grade.
