BARTLETT — A Josiah Bartlett Elementary School employee who wrote two warrant articles seeking more money for teachers and staffers, which were approved at the annual school district meeting in March, wants to know why the school board won’t follow the will of the people and pay those raises.
Meanwhile, a former board member applauded the board for not acting on the articles.
