CONWAY — Following a school year in which frequent fighting was reported at Kennett High School, on Monday with a narrow 3-2 vote, the Conway School Board agreed to create a family liaison position at Kennett High School.
The first two years of the job will be paid by ESSER (American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) funds that the Conway School District was able to secure due to COVID-19.
