Transportation Supervisor is Employee of the Month

Greensboro, N.C. – Getting students to and from school safely and efficiently as the third largest school district in North Carolina is no easy feat; however, it is a task that our transportation department tackles with passion day in and day out. From drivers to mechanics, it takes a skilled team to keep things running.

One of those skilled team members is Tammy Whitaker, a transportation zone supervisor who has spent more than 20 years with the district.

“In the High Point area, Tammy goes above and beyond to help students and staff,” wrote Tomeka Hayes, transportation zone dispatcher. “The transportation department has been influenced positively by her, despite the fact that she has taken on a great deal. Most of Tammy’s students that ride in her area are familiar with her. This woman is dedicated to her work and gives it all she has.”

Whitaker is always ready to step up and help when needed, even returning to the driver’s seat amidst driver shortages. Watching students grow and progress through their education keeps her coming back.

Her dedication to assisting colleagues and the safety of our students earned her the title of Employee of the Month for September. Whitaker was surprised with the news by her fellow transportation department teammates, entering a room full of cheers and applause.

Whitaker received a $50 gift card courtesy of the Greensboro Jaycees. During the month of September, her photo will be displayed at the district’s central offices and in the Greensboro Jaycees office.
