BARTLETT — The “mama bear” in Joan Heysler came out last week during public comments at the Dec. 6 Bartlett School Board meeting.
The longtime educator, formerly at Josiah Bartlett Elementary and now at the Jackson Grammar School, said that due to a tight time frame, the school bus in its afternoon run may be dropping high school students more than a mile from their homes on Town Hall Road in Intervale.
