JACKSON — The cuts have been made, and it looks like Bartlett and Jackson can share some similar school resources.
At the annual Jackson School Meeting, voters elected to cut the proposed 2022-23 operating budget by $100,000 on March 3. Citizens also voted down a $250,000 article to expand Jackson Grammar School to include pre-kindergarten space.
