CONWAY — In an effort to make sure that everyone who is eligible gets free and reduced meals within the Conway School District, the school board is creating a position to streamline that process.
The board voted 7-0 Monday to approve Superintendent Kevin Richard’s recommendation to hire a person for up to 190 hours at $24 per hour plus FICA/retirement. The cost is not to exceed $5,700 for the 2018-19 school year.
