BARTLETT — Josiah Bartlett Elementary School has become the first school in SAU 9 to go fully remote this school year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Four cases of coronavirus were reported over the weekend at the preschool- through-eighth-grade school, prompting officials to order remote learning for 10 days. The quarantine period started last Saturday, Jan. 9, and will end on Tuesday, Jan. 19.
