CONWAY — A half-hour before Conway's filing period for elected office closed last Friday, school board candidate Mark Hounsell withdrew from a contested race for an open one year seat.

The seat had been held by Cheri Sullivan, who resigned last year due to moving out of Conway. Aughton was appointed by the board last May. However, by law, he could only serve no more than one year, and he declined to run for the final year remaining in Sullivan’s unexpired term.
