CONWAY — Three longtime educators — Gustaf (Bernie) Friberg, reading specialist at Pine Tree School; Sandy Hall, art teacher at Kennett High School; and Sally Smith, a fourth-grade teacher at Kennett High School — have applied for and been granted early retirement.
The Conway School Board voted unanimously (6-0, board member Courtney Burke was unable to attend) to accept their requests Nov. 25.
