GCPS: No money for Gwinnett teacher retention bonuses this year

Gwinnett County teachers are not getting retention bonuses that educators had anticipated since the county’s school board adopted its budget earlier this year, and Gwinnett County Public Schools officials say its because there was no state funding to support it. Teachers learned the one-time $2,000 bonuses were not coming via an email that was sent out Monday night. Within a couple of hours, screen shots of the email, which appeared to have also been accidentally sent to parents through ParentVue, were circulating on social media. “The supplement was contingent on funding from the state of Georgia,” district officials sad in the message. “That funding was not included in the approved state budget, and GCPS does not have funding available in its current budget to provide the supplement independently. “We recognize this news may be disappointing. We value the dedication of our teachers and staff and understand the importance of compensation in attracting and retaining the talented professionals who serve our students every day.” The retention bonuses were among the features touted as benefits of Gwinnett County Public Schools’ fiscal year 2027 budget, which went into affect over the summer. The district also gave employees step increases on the salary scale

Mulberry hires Chuck Button as new city manager

Chuck Button oversaw the administration of Gwinnett County government when the county was experiencing some of its fastest growth in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now, he’s leading the administration of the county’s newest city. Mulberry officials hired Button to be their new city manager. He will replace Jamie Palmer, who stepped down last month to go back to college and work on his MBA. “Mr. Chuck Button has an amazing amount of experience, and I think he’s going to help guide us through what’s ahead in the City of Mulberry,” City Councilman Doug Ingram, who led the city manager search, said. “Our citizens are wanting stability and a foundation of peace and tranquility. Mr. Button’s expertise will help us achieve that.” The Mulberry City council approved Button’s hiring last week and he took over from Mulberry Chief Marshal Robert Jones, who had stepped in as interim city manager after Palmer stepped down. The new city manager’s hiring was effective immediately. Button’s name is a familiar one around Gwinnett County. He served as the county administrator in the late 1980s and early 1990s and then served as the chief operating officer at Jacobs Engineering. He continues to be active
