CONWAY — A local business owner who filed a right-to-know request seeking records about the use of the former John H. Fuller Elementary School has seen most of her request granted by the Conway School District.
Tiffany Roberts, a Tamworth resident and owner of Saco Valley Gymnastics Training Center, submitted the request on July 28, seeking records identifying who has used the shuttered school, what facilities they have used and what they have been charged since Jan. 1, 2023.
