www.GoodMorningGwinnett.com Gwinnett County Public Schools bus drivers are getting a raise as a thank you for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The school system said the hourly wage rate for bus drivers will increase by $1.90 starting in April. The drivers were notified about the increase in a letter sent out last Friday, district officials said. The school system said that, in the letter, Gwinnett County Public Schools Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks praised bus drivers for being both committed to students and showing professional during the pandemic.

Gwinnett County Public Schools spent the early months of the pandemic, in spring 2020, having all students learning virtually from home, but the district used a hybrid model during the 2020-2021 school year, with some students learning virtually while others attended classes in person, depending on which option their parents chose.
