CONWAY — School officials within SAU 9 will be spending the next few months looking to hire two principals for Kennett High and Conway Elementary schools after longtime educators Neal Moylan and Brian Hastings announced they are retiring at the end of this school year.
Superintendent Kevin Richard shared a timeline for filling both positions with the Conway School Board at its meeting last month.
