BARTLETT — Voters at the annual Bartlett School Meeting on Tuesday night approved a new three-year contract they hope will not only attract talented teachers but also retain the ones they have.
Also during the 80-minute meeting, which drew about 85 people and saw all five articles pass, the operating budget was bumped up by $42,500 in order to give the school's 26 support staffers $1,650 bonuses to help offset health insurance costs.
