CONWAY — The Conway School Board’s ad hoc co-curricular committee will determine whether the Kennett High girls’ lacrosse program gets varsity status for the 2019 season when it meets this Thursday at 3:30 p.m. in the meeting room at Kennett High School.
Lacrosse proponents have offered to pay the $11,000 for the program for 2019 if it receives varsity status.
