CONWAY — The Conway School Board had its first guests since the start of the pandemic on Monday night, and they were guests of honor. The board recognized 13 retirees at the beginning of its meeting in the Professional Development Center in the SAU 9 offices. It was also the first meeting where masks were not required.
The group represented a combined 264 years of service to the Conway School District.
