CONWAY — Lauren Kidder is the new coordinator of the Chip Kennett Teen Center at the Conway Parks and Recreation Department within the Kennett Middle School.
“I loved being at the K.A. Brett School as a BCBA (board-certified behavior analyst)," she said Tuesday. "You can't beat a school schedule: that was great, and I loved working with the kids, but I can genuinely say I do not miss school at all.”
