Forsyth County Schools staff to receive $2,000 retention bonuses District plans to use remaining coronavirus relief funds on summer program for K-12 students
Forsyth County Schools plans to use a percentage of its allocated federal coronavirus relief funds to give staff members an added $1,000 bonus on top of state retention bonuses next month.
When President Joe Biden passed the American Rescue Plan Act last month, the state of Georgia received close to $4.5 billion in coronavirus relief funding with $3.8 billion going toward the state’s school systems.
The funds are allocated to different school districts based on the percentage of students receiving Title I services linked to lower family income. Forsyth County Schools plans to receive $13 million through the latest relief funding.
