CONWAY — “Students walk into our schools every day with a diverse array of needs and we’re beginning to recognize it more and more,” Conway Elementary School Principal Brian Hastings told members of the Conway School Board recently as he gave a presentation on trauma and its implications for schools in SAU 9.
The presentation was part of the school board’s regular meeting, held in the Professional Development Center at Kennett Middle School.
