Smyrna School District & Teachers Union Reach Pay Agreement: Modest Raises, New Referendum
The Smyrna School District in Delaware and its teachers union have settled a yearlong pay dispute with modest raises for educators, topping out at four percent. The deal brings immediate increases based on years of experience, from $150 every two weeks for new hires to $420 for the most veteran staff. These bumps will last through the fiscal year 2027 with no further hikes planned. The agreement comes after tensions boiled over due to a failed school tax referendum and protests from staff demanding better pay. Both sides now plan to team up for a new operating referendum to boost revenue for staff retention, hiring, and school needs.
