CONWAY — It took a little longer than expected, but the Conway School Board unanimously approved an anonymous $50,000 grant earmarked for Project SUCCEED when it met on Nov. 22.

While the board held a public hearing on the grant at the beginning of its meeting on Nov. 8, members did not get to vote on accepting it later that evening. The meeting was abruptly adjourned after just 18 minutes when a group of people would not adhere to Chairman Joe Lentini’s request to wear a mask at the meeting.
