CONWAY — In an effort to provide continued support in the community, administrators are looking to expand the work schedule for guidance counselors and family support liaisons at the three elementary schools and Kennett Middle School. The move would add $25,682 to the proposed 2019-20 Conway School District budget.
Family support liaisons serve as their school’s contact with community service agencies for at-risk populations. They make sure emergency services are provided (food, clothing and shelter), recommend and design alternative education programs and pursue grant opportunities.
