Chris Gandy serves the Branson School District's transportation department as the Routing Supervisor, which proves to be a vital role every day.
Students who ride the bus to and from school are impacted by his work behind the scenes, as he keeps every route running efficiently. After serving Branson Schools for 16 years, Chris has become Dr. Lourenco's, Transportation Director, right-hand man.
Because of his ability to stay calm under pressure, think quickly to problem solve, and empathetically support all bus drivers and aides, he is our December Pirate Proud honoree!
