The Upper Darby School District is considering a shift to a four-day school week as part of a broader strategy to address teacher recruitment challenges. Officials cite the potential benefits of reduced workloads and improved work-life balance as key incentives to attract and retain educators. The proposal comes amid ongoing staffing shortages in many districts across the region. Details on how the change would be implemented and its potential impact on students remain under discussion.
