CONWAY — The annual Conway School District Meeting's deliberative portion takes center stage this Monday at 7 p.m. in Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School, and school officials think it may be a quick night.
“It should be a breeze,” said Conway School Board member Randy Davison at Monday’s board meeting. “There’s really nothing controversial this year.”
