                    "Columbus Municipal School District Transportation Director Geneva Summerville sits at her desk Monday. Summerville spent more than a decade as a bus driver before becoming a travel nurse and then eventually returning back to CMSD to take on her current role. Emma McRae/Dispatch Staff\t\n\t\t\tEvery day at 4 a.m., Geneva Summerville gets into \u201cprotector mode.\u201d\nOn her drive from Starkville to Columbus each morning, she doesn\u2019t listen to music or podcasts. She\u2019s thinking through the day\u2019s bus routes, whether a driver might call in sick and who to call first to fill that gap.\nSummerville stays in that mode until all the Columbus Municipal School District buses are parked and checked to ensure each student got off \u2013 somewhere around 7 p.m. each school day.\n\u201cI never stop worrying because I\u2019m over so many kids, so many precious kids,\u201d said Summerville, transportation director for CMSD. \u201c\u2026 I know how I was about my kids, so I can imagine how people are about their kids.\u201d\nSummerville\u2019s days on the bus started like most, as a student. She attended both Joe Cook and Stokes-Beard elementary schools before graduating from Lee High in 1984. From there, she joined the workforce, starting in food services.\nBut as a single-mother raising three children, Summerville needed a job with a more flexible schedule, which in 1996 led her right back to CMSD where she started driving a school bus.\n\u201cMy kids were in school, so they would go with me on the bus in the morning time, and I would drop them off at school,\u201d she said. \u201cThen I would go and work in the cafeteria. I laid it out \u2026 where I would be at home in the evening with my kids.\u201d\nThe new job worked out perfectly, so much so that she kept it for more than a decade, even in 2000 as she began taking night classes at the East Mississippi Community College extension at Columbus Air Force Base. In 2006, she graduated from Mississippi University for Women with a bachelor\u2019s degree in family science, honoring a promise she had made to herself to go to college as her children began graduating high school.\nEven as she continued her education \u2013 pursuing a master\u2019s degree at the University of West Alabama \u2013 into 2008, Summerville kept driving for CMSD.\nAfter she finished her master\u2019s degree, Summerville started working as transportation supervisor with Waters Truck and Tractor, to which CMSD outsourced its transportation department. She continued to work in transportation for a few more years but then felt the call to try something new.\nSummerville had always been interested in health care, so she left the transportation department and spent time working as a certified nurse assistant, then a travel nurse.\n\u201cRight around the COVID time is when I took my first flight on a plane, and I went to my first assignment \u2026 in Butler, Pennsylvania \u2013 my first time ever being so far away from home,\u201d she said. \u201cI had grown kids at the time, so I would say that \u2026 I was living my best life.\u201d\nComing back home\nWhen she started travel nursing, Summerville promised herself and her kids she\u2019d only do it for five years. Before that mark arrived at the start of this year, she had worked stints everywhere from Pennsylvania to Colorado to New Hampshire, building friendships with patients and coworkers along the day.\n\u201cEvery facility that I walked in, they hated to see me go,\u201d she said. \u201cI had that attitude. I had that (commitment). \u2026 Even now, everywhere I step into, it\u2019s just like, when are you coming back. \u2026 All the patients just love me, and I love them.\u201d\nWhen she saw CMSD\u2019s advertisement for a new transportation director, Summerville wasn\u2019t interested at first. But when the opportunity kept coming back to her, she took the leap and was offered the job.\nNow she spends her day-to-day coordinating buses and drivers and sometimes even driving a route if need be.\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tColumbus Municipal School District Transportation Director Geneva Summerville stands in front of her \u201cBoss\u201d Lady poster on Monday, which was made for her birthday by employees she manages. From 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, Summerville said she\u2019s in \u201cprotector mode,\u201d focused only on ensuring her students and drivers are receiving the support they need. Emma McRae/Dispatch Staff\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\n\u201cRight now, my biggest compassion is the kids that I oversee every day on the bus (and) my drivers. (I) want to make sure everybody is OK,\u201d she said.\nShe encourages her drivers to take the same care as they run their routes each day.\n\u201cI instill in my drivers: every child that gets up on your bus, greet them with a, \u2018Good morning. How was your day? How was your night? Do you need anything?\u2019\u201d she said. \u201cSome kids, you never know what night they had, or what\u2019s going on in the home, and I want my drivers to \u2026 leave it open so if there\u2019s anything going on, they can come and talk to them.\u201d\nSuperintendent Craig Chapman said Summerville has been a \u201cgreat asset\u201d for CMSD, especially as it started the school year with a full roster of bus drivers and substitute drivers \u2013 no small feat during a national bus driver shortage.\n\u201c(She is) very understanding of the role and what it takes as far as making sure that we\u2019re in compliance with our drivers on transporting kids,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026 A lot of things that we may have not totally been used to and aware of that she\u2019s bringing to our attention that we can go back and fix. (She\u2019s) a great addition to the team.\u201d\nFor Summerville, it\u2019s all about caring for others, whether it\u2019s the students riding CMSD buses today or their parents, who once rode her own bus. After nearly three decades of ensuring students make it on and off the bus safely, there\u2019s one request Summerville makes of other drivers on the road.\n\u201cIf I could just get everybody to acknowledge these bus stop signs,\u201d she said.\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\tMcRae is a general assignment and education reporter for The Dispatch.\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n      \n      \n        Quality, in-depth journalism is essential to a healthy community.
