Last Monday, School Superintendent Kevin Richard updated board members on meetings held in the wake of last week’s false-alarm lockdowns at Kennett High and Middle schools. On Dec. 5, many KHS students, who were sequestered in the gym, called or sent panicky texts to their parents, many of whom later came and took their children out of school. Richard said he had hoped to “control the amount of misinformation being put out there,” but wasn’t sure if he was in favor “of taking phones away from people.” Conway Police Chief Ed Wagner said while there currently isn’t a rule on cellphone use during a lockdown, “that’s a decision that has to be made in the very near future.”
