The Conway School Board voted to add a 2-by-6-foot digital display to the existing sign at Kennett High School at the entrance to Eagles Way. However, the Conway Planning Board will review the proposal before installation, though it’s not clear the board has the right to deny it because the school may be excluded from the zoning ordinance.
There were 57 responses via email, voicemail and Facebook to this week’s Tele-Talk question: Does Kennett High School need a digital sign?
