Atlanta Public Schools Reverses Decision and Grants Teacher Bonuses Amid Criticism
TL;DR Summary
Atlanta Public Schools initially included the state's $1,000 teacher bonus in their employees' holiday retention bonus, sparking criticism from Georgia State School Superintendent Richard Woods. After facing pushback, the district has stated that they will distribute the additional funds once clarification is provided on which categories of employees should be covered by the bonus.
