BARTLETT — Should Bartlett School Board member Scott Grant remain involved with the pending high school tuition negotiations with Conway?
The board received a letter from Conway School Board Vice Chair Ryan Wallace, who heads the tuition contract negotiations on Nov. 8 after Grant interjected himself into a Conway matter concerning the Kennett High School ice hockey program. In it, Wallace questioned Grant’s “motivations and truly wondered how the Conway School Board can continue having productive conversations with Scott Grant given his recent conduct.”
