Gwinnett County Teachers, Staff Will Not Receive Expected $2,000 Bonuses
Thursday, November 12th, 2026
Teachers and other employees in the Gwinnett County School District will not receive the $2,000 retention bonuses they had been expecting after the district announced that the necessary funding was not included in the approved state budget.
The one-time bonuses were expected after the Gwinnett County Board of Education adopted its budget earlier this year.
However, an email sent to teachers and staff explained that the payments were contingent on state funding, which was not allocated in the approved budget.
