CONWAY — The budget should dominate discussion at the deliberative portion of school meeting Wednesday. Citizens will be asked if they want to see a 11 percent, or $4.1 million, reduction in the school budget, or if they would like the funds restored. Or there's the possibility of further cuts.
The meeting is in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
