In less than 7 months on the job, Mr. Russell is now an invaluable member of the team. He has single-handedly taken his position to new heights by implementing increased web functionality, tutorial videos and design aesthetic. These improvements benefit BCPS employees, families and students. Remarkably, Mr. Russell’s reputation as a “go-to-guy” is not just limited to the PIO.
