BARTLETT — Josiah Bartlett Elementary School will start the school year with face-to-face learning on Sept. 8, along with a distance learning option (see related story) for families who do not want their child to return to campus.
The Bartlett School Board voted unanimously 5-0 Tuesday — at its first in-person meeting since March 2 — to hold in-person classes in Bartlett.
