CONWAY — After three months off the Conway School Board, Ryan Wallace was appointed 4-0 on July 14 to fill a nine-month vacant term.
The former board chair was the only candidate to fill out the necessary paperwork for the post, though Conway Municipal Budget Committee member Steve Angers also expressed interest in the vacancy created by Michaela Clement, who stepped down June 23 as she was moving out of the school district.
