CONWAY — The Conway School Board will not be pursuing a Kennett High School digital message board when the current sign is taken down in June.
Initially, the board, by a 4-3 vote favored looking at digital options. But board member Randy Davison later reversed his vote, tilting the majority against looking at digital options by a 4-3 margin.
