CONWAY — “I’d rather err on the side of caution,” SAU 13 School Superintendent Lou Goscinski said Wednesday, while explaining why he chose to cancel school rather than go the early release route, which SAU 9 and MSAD 72 schools did.
Roughly 10 inches of snow from Winter Storm Liam fell on the region, but the full brunt of the storm didn't hit our area until midday.
