CONWAY — The Conway School Board on Tuesday opted not to adopt a public comment policy at its meeting, voting 6-0 to table the proposal and send it back for revision by the board’s policy committee.
Moving to table the policy was Joe Mosca, seconded by Randy Davison. Mosca sits on the policy committee with school board chair Joe Lentini and board member Jessica Whitelaw.
