BARTLETT — Voters will get to decide the fate of an integrated preschool when they head to annual school meeting on March 6.
Bartlett School Board Chairman Vicki Harlow, along with members Andrew Light and Nancy Kelemen voted in favor of putting an article to that effect on the warrant at Tuesday’s monthly meeting at Josiah Bartlett Elementary School, while Gary Cini and Scott Grant were in the minority.
