CONWAY — If the school operating budget fails in April, the Conway School District would be forced have to work with the default budget for the 2023-24 school year, which is about $89,000 less than what officials are recommending.
As a formality, the Conway School Board at its Jan. 9 meeting by a vote of 5-0 (Cassie Capone and Michelle Capozzoli were absent) agreed to a default budget of $40,164,973.
