Two Gwinnett school board members speak out on retention bonuses

Two Gwinnett County school board members are, in their individual capacities, addressing teachers concerns on the retention bonuses that educators found out they would not receive this week. Board Chairwoman Tarece Johnson-Morgan and Board member Rachel Stone reiterated Gwinnett County Public Schools’ stance that the bonuses were always contingent on whether the district received funding from the state to pay the teachers. They were quick to point out they were not speaking on behalf of the entire board, however. “Right now, social media is full of anger, rumors, and half-truths,” Johnson-Morgan said. “Some of it comes from real pain.

Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on

Lake Lanier Sinks to Lowest Level in Nearly a Decade, Boat Ramps Shut Down

Lake Lanier has dropped to its lowest water level in nearly a decade, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers says it has no choice but to keep releasing water through Buford Dam even as the lake gets almost no rain to refill it. Atlanta relies on Lake Lanier for drinking water, and with the region stuck in drought, officials have already begun shutting down boat ramps and warning paddlers and boaters to watch for hazards that are normally hidden underwater.

Water releases planned as drought conditions continue in metro Atlanta

Colder temperatures are here in Georgia, and while many might welcome the change from steamy summer days to chilly winter mornings, what the Southeast really needs is rain. The state of Georgia has been under drought conditions this year, despite some smaller periods of heavy rainfall, and it has caused the water levels in the state's reservoirs to drop significantly. Atlanta has received 35.3 inches of rain so far this year, down significantly from the 30-year average, according to the National Weather Service. The Georgia Environmental Protection Division declared a statewide drought response level 1 in April, meaning utilities were required to warn residents about the impacts of drought and ways to mitigate them. Now, state officials are taking the next step to keep Atlanta's water system moving. Army Corps to limit reservoir releases The Army Corps of Engineers manages and operates Buford Dam , the dam at the southern end of Lake Lanier, a massive reservoir about an hour north of Atlanta. The Dam and lake are fed by the Chattahoochee River, and the river continues to flow on the south side of the dam all the way down to Florida. When water levels are low in the reservoir,
