CONWAY — If the town recreation department moves to Kennett Middle School, it would not preclude the sixth-graders from John H. Fuller, Conway Elementary and Pine Tree schools from being moved there, too, creating a 6-8 grade middle school.
So said School Superintendent Kevin Richard at Monday night’s Conway Municipal Budget Committee meeting held in the Professional Development Center at Kennett Middle School. It was the final night of questions for the town and school on the proposed 2018-19 budgets and warrant articles.
