CONWAY — The Conway School Board were in disagreement last month on how meetings should be run and if Robert’s Rules of Order should be followed verbatim.
At its June 12 meeting, the board was divided on whether to adopt a new policy for “Rules of Order” for running school meetings. This was to replace the board’s “Rules of Procedure,” which was initially adopted by the school board in March of 1993, and reviewed twice with no changes and revised twice with the most recent revision in June of 2018.
