CONWAY — The Conway School Board unanimously voted in Jessica DellaValla as the new program director of Project SUCCEED for the Conway School District on Monday night.
The Jackson resident said she is excited about the opportunity, although it means she will have to step down from her seat on the Jackson School Board, a post she has held since 2016.
