CONWAY — Masks or a doctor’s note are still required of anyone attending Conway School Board meetings. A few people voiced displeasure at having to mask up at the board's Nov. 22 meeting. One parent even brought in a gas mask, claiming it's the only true way to keep people safe during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Chairman Joe Lentini has asked everyone to wear masks at meetings since Oct. 12. Seven people refused to mask up at the board’s Nov. 8 meeting, prompting Lentini to adjourn the meeting after only 18 minutes.
