CONWAY — The Conway School Board on Monday night voted not to enter into a lease agreement this fall (see related story) with the Robert Frost Charter School at this time, but that's not to say both parties might not explore the opportunity in the future.
Currently operating at 1675 White Mountain Highway in North Conway, next to Friendly's restaurant and adjacent to the former L.L. Bean White Mountain Plaza, Robert Frost will be a K-7 grade school this fall, with over 100 students anticipated from 18 area towns (as far away as Lancaster and Lincoln) encompassing four different school districts.
