CONWAY — Conway School Board Chair Amy Snow dropped a bombshell on her colleagues near the end of Monday’s meeting. She’s resigning with a year left on her term.
Snow wanted her resignation to take effect at the end of March to not leave the board shorthanded through the budget season. But she learned Tuesday she couldn't do that.
