CONWAY — Municipal Budget Committee member Bill Marvel would like to see more emphasis on core academics than electives at Kennett High School. And at the deliberative portion of the annual Conway School Meeting on Monday night, Marvel, a Kennett graduate, he said as much. It didn't receive a very positive response.
Marvel said with the retirement of the $1.9 million bond for construction of the high school and renovation of the middle school, the operating budget should have gone down.
