Pupil transportation runs in the family for Megan LaRue Elsberry. From an early age, she grew up around the school bus, helping her mother with the pre-trip inspection and watching her become a director. Elsberry earned her CDL the moment she was eligible, and 16 years later, her passion for this field has only deepened. Elsberry most recently served as the special-needs route coordinator for the district and was recently promoted to area coordinator. Elsberry has become a NHTSA child passenger tech and instructor, as well as a master wheelchair and securement trainer. She has served as volunteer "team lead" for the national special needs roadeo facilitated by wit., llc. and as co-chair on the NCST writing committee for the Special Needs Operations section.
