A combination of state- and district-provided funding made the bonuses happen.
Quality Basic Education-certified teachers received $2,000 bonuses, but the Clayton County Board of Education also approved $1,500 bonuses for staff and other personnel not covered by budget changes at the Georgia General Assembly.
That means staff at CCPS including bookkeepers, attendance clerks, bus monitors, registrar secretaries, maintenance workers, mechanics, administrative assistants, SROs and CSOs got the payment, according to the school district.
