MSBOA Transportation Specialist Award Winner 2018-2019: Pam Boomgaarden

Comments from supervisors:
Pam is very organized and does an excellent job of communicating with parents, school staff, and drivers. Pam is also willing to help out with other duties from driving regular route bus, trip bus, special ed route bus to cleaning the office and bathrooms. Pam is a valuable asset to Palmer Bus Service and the Shakopee School District.
The quality of Pam's that is hardest to quantify is how often we look to her for an answer. I find myself saying, "Hey Pam?" multiple times per day, and that is indispensable.
Comments from co-workers:
In my world, you earn respect, Pam has mine! She is great to work with, she has a great sense of humor and a great work ethic. She deserves this award!
Pam has wonderfully mastered the ability to remain positive and professional while dealing with daily challenges that arise with students, schools, and drivers.
