The Atlanta Board of Education has
approved key adjustments to the Atlanta
Public Schools’ (APS) FY2021 operating
budget. Since the state’s $1,000 retention
bonus did not include all job titles, APS
will provide one-time $1,000 payments
to all full-time staff and $500 to all part-
time staff and permanent substitutes. In
addition, APS has moved forward with
part of a compensation package originally
proposed for next fiscal year, which is a
2% across-the-board increase to all of the
pay scales. The district is also committed
to providing raises and step increases as
part of its developing general fund budget
for FY2022.
UPS provided more than 55,000 books
through the Georgia Family Connection
Partnership to be distributed throughout
the city, with a portion of those books
going to APS students in support of the
Race2Read challenge. The initiative is
designed to boost leisure reading citywide
to close the literacy gap. For more

directly support the Race2Read challenge

Cristo Rey Atlanta Jesuit High
School’s 6th annual President’s Cup
Golf Tournament held on March 29

raised $200,000 for student scholarships.
The money raised supports the private,
college-prep education of 550 high school
students from underserved populations.
Since 2015, the golf tournament has
raised over $950,000 to help cover the
gap between the income earned from the
school’s innovative Corporate Work Study
program and the cost to educate the
students.
