CARTERSVILLE, GA — Bartow County Schools employees will find a little something extra in their paychecks Friday: a bonus of $750 for most employees. Superintendent Phillip Page announced via social media Tuesday that employees hired before Oct. 1 would receive the one-time $750 bonus. Those hired after Oct. 1 would receive half that, $375. "I am very thankful for this support from our school board," Page wrote. "Even with the uncertainty of our 2020-2021 budget, each school board member was committed to supporting our staff with this payment. We are blessed to have our school board members, and I am truly blessed to work with each of you." Page also thanked staff for being able to offer in-person schooling. "At a time when many students do not have an opportunity to learn in person, our students have that choice and it is only because of your unparalleled and unwavering work to provide a safe learning environment for all," Page wrote. The one-time payment will be subject to all mandatory taxes and pension contributions.
