CONWAY — The Conway School Board had surprise visitors Monday — the last two chairs of the board, Michelle Capozzoli and Joe Lentini, who voiced concerns about the direction the board is heading.
Capozzoli, who served for three terms and chose not to run again last April, is now a resident of Bartlett. She urged members to do a better job and offered some friendly suggestions. First, she raised the idea of some members believing they need to follow Robert’s Rules verbatim for meetings. Capozzoli and Lentini both led with an abbreviated version of Robert Rules when they chaired the board.
