Tom Wolf today following the announcement of a PAsmart grant worth $35,000 to the Upper Darby School District to help expand computer science classes and teacher training. “I’m proud that Governor Wolf is making this investment in Upper Darby’s students,” Davidson said. “Students who have a strong background in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math provide for themselves a path to succeed in the 21st century global economy.
