EATON — The Eaton School Board — Monique Hebert, chair; Nella Thompson, vice chair; and Susan Wiley — voted unanimously on Tuesday night to notify the Conway School Board of their intent to opt out of the K-6 tuition contract next month.
Notice legally has to be given three years before the end of the contract, which would be June 30; otherwise, Eaton would be extended for another year.
