CONWAY — School administrators had some good news to share with the Conway School Board at its Jan. 11 meeting: They were able to trim another $380,000 off the district's proposed 2021-22 budget.

When the first draft of the needs-based budget was released in November, the board faced a $2.1 million increase. Superintendent Kevin Richard and his team have since trimmed $1.3 million of that increase.
