CONWAY — At Monday’s Conway School Board meeting, Michaela Clement surprised her colleagues by announcing her resignation with just under two years left to go in her term. The reason she is leaving the board is because she is moving to Fryeburg, Maine.
Clement made the announcement under board discussion late into Monday’s meeting.
