Biddeford Teachers OK Pact
The Biddeford pay revolt ends as teachers accept a scale raising salaries by 200 dollars next year and 200 dollars annually until the scale is reached. The plan sets minimums of 3500 to 3700 and maximums of 5000 to 5500 after ten years, with higher future raises sought by teachers. Officials praised leaders and the settlement, aiding a broader state revolt amid similar actions in Lewiston Ellsworth and Newport.
