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. Some of it is meant to divide us: teachers against leaders, and neighbors against public schools.” GCPS officials told teachers on Monday that they would not receive retention bonuses this year because there was no funding to pay for it. The announcement quickly took off on social media after district officials accidentally sent it to parents as well as educators. District officials told the Daily Post that the message, which was signed by Chief Financial Officer Masana Mailliard and Interim Chief Human Resources J.W. Mozley, stands as the district’s official statement on the retention bonus issue. “The supplement was contingent on

Buford Lands 300-Unit Luxury Complex as Atlanta Apartment Construction Slows

Conyers PD honors Williams for 25 years of service

CONYERS — When Cathy Williams began working for the Conyers Police Department in 2001, the city's emergency communications center looked considerably different from the technology-driven operation it is today. Twenty-five years later, Williams has remained a steady presence through changes in emergency communications, public safety technology, and the department's operations, earning recognition for her dedication to the city and the officers she supports. Williams was honored during the Nov. 4 Conyers City Council meeting, where Deputy Police Chief Kim Lucas presented her with an award recognizing a quarter-century of service. Lucas praised Williams for her professionalism, reliability and willingness to assist coworkers, describing her as an employee whose experience and dedication have made her an important part of the department. "She is the kind of employee every supervisor hopes to have — hardworking, dependable, and consistently willing to pick up the slack," Lucas said. Williams began her career in the department's Communications/911 Center in 2001. Over the years, she has witnessed the evolution of emergency communications and the expansion of the center's responsibilities into what is now known as the Real-Time Crime Center. Lucas said Williams has adapted to those changes while maintaining the attention to detail and steady approach
