CONWAY — The Conway School Board voted Monday to retain the John H. Fuller Elementary School property in North Conway Village for the foreseeable future, rather than selling it.
The vote was based on a recommendation bythe John Fuller Action Ad Hoc Committee, which has met regularly over the past year, most recently Jan. 21.
