CONWAY — With the decision on schools' reopening resting on the shoulders of local school board members, the start date looks to be pushed back to beyond Labor Day, the better to prepare amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

The first day of classes for SAU 9 had been scheduled for Aug. 31, with teachers set to return Aug. 26. But Superintendent Kevin Richard shared with the Conway School Board on Monday via Zoom that opening day will now be in September.

Can't wait to see what happens with Covid after the pandemic bonds pay out in a couple more days. We have all been played like a fine tuned piano and this liberal rag went right along with it at a times just like the liberal inhabitants of our very wonderful valley.
