BARTLETT — The Bartlett and Eaton school boards will bring identical warrant articles to school district voters in March, proposing five-year contracts to send students to Kennett High School. The boards unveiled the articles at their monthly meetings last week — Eaton on Monday and Bartlett on Tuesday night.
On Nov. 17, Jackson became the first town in SAU 9 or SAU 13 to unveil potential agreements, in its case to offer residents the choice of sending high school students to either Kennett High or Fryeburg Academy.
