Meet CUSD's Newest Trustee

Get to know Campbell Union School District's newest trustee, Sam Krow-Lucal.

Area 5 trustee Sam Krow-Lucal is taking the oath of office. The oath is presented by Superintendent Viramontez and fellow board members are looking on.

Meet Trustree, Area 5, Sam Krow-Lucal. Krow-Lucal, a proud Capri parent and longtime Campbell resident, took the oath of office on March 12, 2026. Running for the Campbell Union School Board had been something Krow-Lucal had been considering for a long time and with the encouragement of his friends decided to take action upon the retirement of seasoned trustee Danielle M.S. Cohen.

When asked what he viewed as Campbell Union School District’s greatest strength, Krow-Lucal had no hesitation in his response - stability. “People are proud of what we (CUSD) are doing,” Krow-Lucal commented. “Having a superintendent who has been in the role for ten years and having board members that stay for multiple terms speaks to the culture of the district.”

He specifically named the continuous improvement work that the district is engaged in as an additional district strength. “Having feedback loops and being conscious of how we can move the district forward is something that sets us up for success long term. Having that culture of evaluation and introspection is very important. We have it. I think it is going to continue to benefit us.”

When asked how he would define student success, Krow-Lucal was quick to note that student success is more than a test score, “It’s that growth from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. It is also enjoying that growth and wanting to continue it.”

Fun facts about Trustee Krow-Lucal

  • He is an avid sports fan. He played soccer in college and for a semi-pro team upon graduation.
  • Pablo Torre Finds Out is his favorite podcast.
  • His favorite school lunch was hamburgers.
  • Favorite teacher was his fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Porter.
  • His favorite subjects in school were history and math. He has a degree in history.
  • The one word he uses to describe his leadership style - supportive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the Raptor Visitor Management System?
Raptor is a visitor management system that helps schools track who is on campus and enhances the safety of students and staff.
Why is the school implementing Raptor?
Student safety is our top priority. Raptor allows us to screen visitors, keep accurate records, and ensure that everyone on campus has checked in through the main office.
What should I expect when visiting the school?
All visitors will need to check in at the front office using a valid government-issued ID. A visitor badge will be printed and must be worn while on campus.
What types of IDs does Raptor accept?
Raptor accepts most government-issued photo IDs, including:
  • State-issued driver’s licenses
  • State ID cards
  • Passports or passport cards
  • Permanent Resident Cards (green cards)
  • Military IDs
  • Consular ID cards (such as a Mexican Consulate ID)
In general, if it is a valid government-issued ID with a photo, it will work with the system.
Will I need to bring my ID every time I visit?
Yes. You will need to present your ID each time you check in.
What information is collected, and is it safe?
Raptor scans your ID to verify your identity. The system only collects necessary information for school safety purposes and does not share it with outside organizations.
What if I do not have a government-issued ID?
Please contact the school office ahead of your visit. Staff will work with you to find an alternative way to check in.
How long does the check-in process take?
The process is quick and typically takes less than a minute once you arrive at the front office.
Do I need to check out when I leave?
Yes. All visitors must return to the front office to check out before leaving campus.
Will this apply to all visitors?
Yes. All visitors, including parents/guardians, volunteers, and contractors, must check in through the Raptor system.
How will visitor check-in work during large events like walk-a-thons or parades?
For large school events, we may use a modified check-in process to ensure safety while keeping lines moving efficiently. This may include pre-registration, additional check-in stations, or alternative methods such as name lists or event badges.
All visitors will still be expected to check in in some form and may be required to wear a badge or wristband while on campus. Volunteers who will be working closely with students may still be asked to complete a full check-in.
Additional details will always be shared with families before each event.
When will this start?
Raptor will be implemented districtwide soon. We will communicate specific start dates and any additional details.
Questions? Please comment below. All questions are private and only visible to the administration office and the commenter.
 
We understand that new procedures can feel different at first, and we appreciate your patience and support as we adjust together. These changes are in place to help us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students.

2026-2027 After School Care

Registration Information
Registration Website: campbellusd.arux.app
2026-2027 Interest Submission opens on March 16, 2026 on Arux. 
The Expanded Learning Department's CampbellCare after-school enrollment process must be prioritized per state legislation - Expanded Learning Opportunity Program (ELOP). 
The legislation requires that priority placement be given to students in grades TK-6 who meet one or more of the following criteria: 
  • Homeless or Foster Youth
  • English Learner (currently receiving services) 
  • Free or Reduced Lunch Status (application on file with the nutrition department) 
The families of eligible students will be given the opportunity to enroll first, then, if capacity allows, enrollment will be opened up to all. If the number of interested applicants exceeds capacity, there will be a lottery. ELOP applications will be processed in priority of the day in which the completed application was received, rather than the previous minute by minute priority process. 
We are aware of the need for high quality before and after school care for our families, and we are continuing our commitment to hire more staff. We appreciate the support you provide when you refer responsible friends and family members to job openings on our employment page. 
After-school registration for students who have been identified as ELOP eligible, will be open mid March.
Families will receive the registration link via Parent Square. Families who desire after-school care, who do not have ELOP eligible students, can begin submitting their interest mid March HERE. The 2026-2027 fee rates can be found in the resource section on the top of this page.
