CONWAY — Joe Lentini was re-elected chairman of the Conway School Board at Monday night's reorganization meeting, and he used his reappointment as an opportunity to urge all community members “who care about our schools and care about our country to work together to move us forward.”
Lentini, who is in his fifth year on the school board, was the lone nominee brought forward by his colleagues for the chairmanship.
