BARTLETT — A survey of Josiah Bartlett Elementary School staff conducted by a group of parents but not authorized by the school board, caused a stir at last week’s board meeting.
The survey, conducted from June 12-23, and whose results have not been made public, was brought up in an emailed comment by former board member Scott Grant last month.
