CONWAY — Due to a job posting mix-up, the eight-month seat on the Conway School Board that was awarded to former board chair Joe Lentini will remain open a while longer. One new candidate has already submitted a letter of interest in the reopened position.
Before choosing Lentini over two other candidates who spoke to the board last Monday, SAU 9 had posted an ad to fill the seat vacated by Jessica Whitelaw last month.
