Justin Henson
Eagle Spotlight - November 2021
|
As the Assistant Director of Transportation, Justin was peer nominated by multiple bus drivers for all of his hard work and dedication toward efficiently transporting Joplin's children as well as maintaining a positive work environment. Here are a few comments from his peers:
"No matter the stress level of taking everything on, he has done it all with a very positive and great attitude."
"His ability to hold together the Transportation Department is admirable."
|
|
"It is no secret we are still short of bus drivers, but since the BOE approved the plan for improved wages and incentives, Justin has managed to hire several drivers for training. In addition, his work with the mechanics, experience as a driver trainer, and overall knowledge of the operation has allowed him to 'keep us rolling'". - Dr. Kerry Sachetta
Safe, Trustworthy, & Professional is the mantra of Joplin Schools' Transportation Department - Justin is the embodiment of STP!
