UPPER DARBY, Pa. (CBS) – The Upper Darby School Board unanimously voted to approve a new four-year teacher contract on Tuesday. The approval comes after the Upper Darby Education Association (UDEA) membership approved a new labor agreement in January.
The new teacher contract includes increased starting salaries, restores contract certainty to the district's workforce, brings added fiscal stability to the Upper Darby School District, and improves district operations.
