BARTLETT — Some Bears will become Eagles a little earlier than planned after the Bartlett School Board had a change of heart and voted to renew a contract to allow Josiah Bartlett Elementary students to play sports at Kennett Middle School in the next school year.
On Jan. 6, the board (Emily Calderwood (chair), Heather Forbes, Nancy Kelemen and Andrew Light in the majority, and Jay Calabro in the minority), had voted 4-1 not to renew the $7,000 contract with Conway, which allowed Josiah Bartlett seventh- and eight-graders the opportunity to play sports not offered in Bartlett at Kennet. There was no discussion from the public.
