BARTLETT — Bartlett became the first sending town to approve a new five-year tuition contract with the Conway School District after voters at the annual school meeting approved an agreement to send at least 75 percent of its students to Kennett High School on Tuesday night.
On Tuesday, Albany (7 p.,m. at town hall) and Eaton (5 p.m. at town hall) will vote on similar tuition contracts, while Jackson will vote on a five-year contract with Conway and also a 10-year agreement with Fryeburg Academy on Thursday (7 p.m. at the Whitney Center).
