Watson elected principal for Bailey Evening School
Nathan W. Watson, a Morse high school French teacher and guidance director, was elected principal of the Bailey Evening School by the Bath Board of Education. He succeeds Paul V. Mason, who did not seek reelection after 15 years leading the program. Opening registration is set for Oct 22 with classes beginning Oct 29, but funding cuts may reduce offerings. The State education subsidy change and a prior $360 deficit last year tighten the Bailey School Fund, with a policy requiring at least 12 students per course.
