CONWAY — If the school operating budget fails in April, the Conway School District would be forced to work with the default budget for the 2021-22 school year, which is roughly $238,000 less than what officials are recommending.
In a formality move, the Conway School Board agreed to a default budget of $38,414,646 at its meeting on Monday night.
