CONWAY — While a high school tuition study committee is working on the feasibility of a joint management agreement, some Conway School Board members believe a JMA will never happen and towns should move on and begin negotiations for the next long-term tuition agreements.
The tuition study committee met in October and was assigned a few tasks, Superintendent Kevin Richard said at the Nov 14 meeting.
