A superintendent at a public school system in Georgia announced that he would donate his entire $10,000 bonus to help high school seniors with their college application fees.
Grant Rivera, 44, of Marietta, told"Good Morning America" that he received the bonus after his district met certain performance standards, but he"didn't feel it was fair for me as superintendent to profit off the backs of our teachers."
"What I said to the kids was as an incentive to start this process early," he added."That I would cover the cost of their application fees for early action, early decision." He said he also wanted to let his students know that,"I believe in you and I'm proud of the work you did to get to this place."
