CONWAY — Conway School Board member Randy Davison wants to know “who is pushing for these cooperative school district talks.” Little did he know it was a colleague just four seats away — Mark Hounsell.
On Sept. 20, at the SAU 9 School Board meeting, Superintendent Kevin Richard put "tuition contract discussion" and "cooperative district discussion" on the agenda for the meeting.
