CONWAY — The Conway School Board will form a nine-member committee next month to come up with a recommendation for what to do with the closed John H. Fuller Elementary School and its 15 acres of land in North Conway Village.
The committee will be charged with looking at three options: selling the property, leasing it or mothballing it for future use.
