Employee, teachers of month recognized by school board
By DANIEL LILLY Of the School Board
Missy Hudson is October Employee of the Month from Transportation. Mr. Hudson came to Wakulla County Schools when her children started school, wanting to be off when they were out of school she became a bus driver, then paraprofessional, before becoming routing secretary.
Mrs. Hudson said of what is enjoyable about her job, “I like that there is not a single day that is the same, you never know what is going to happen from day to day. One thing that I have learned over the years is that when that child takes their first step on that school bus and walks through the doors of their school, they are entering one of the best school systems that there is. I am proud to be an employee in Wakulla County Schools.”
Mrs. Patricia Jones said of Hudson, “It is a pleasure to bring to your attention Mrs. Missy Hudson as employee of the month from the Transportation Department. In the 2 years working with Ms. Hudson, she has proven herself very capable of handling a very busy office and she carries out her duties with efficiency and dispatch.
She is trustworthy, dependable and handles parent calls with grace and a good attitude. In addition, she has learned the bus routing program and in November will be embarking in a new area of the Transversa Bus Routing System, which will be a challenge however I know she can handle the new system. She has been most helpful in seeking information that is required in keeping FTE reports up to date. She constantly is reminding bus drivers of the importance of their record keeping of the students they are transporting and communicates with me daily with the number of students on buses. For all these reasons and more, she is a valuable transportation secretary.”
Congratulations to Missy Hudson, Wakulla County Schools October Employee of the Month.
