CONWAY — Conway School Board member Mark Hounsell pledged “to fight with all my being” to stop the state Department of Education’s proposed “Learn Everywhere" innovation because it takes away local control when it comes to students earning credits towards graduation. He called it “the biggest threat to public education” he'd ever seen.

At the Feb. 25 school board meeting, Hounsell and his colleagues agreed to write a letter to the state to oppose the initiative created by Education Commissioner Frank Edelblut and unveiled last month.
