"Bartlett City Schools added two employees Monday, and more staff means the need for more space, hence the system’s move into its new offices at Bartlett High. Supt. David Stephens was in the new offices — the former special education department under legacy Shelby County Schools — getting furniture arranged and settling in the larger space from the system’s previous spot in the corner of Bartlett City Hall."
