The Conway Budget Committee by a vote of 7-5 will not recommend a special article on the ballot in April that will ask voters to appropriate $214,160 for design services related to moving the main entrance of Kennett High School to the back, which has direct access to the parking lot. The special article, approved by the Conway School Board 6-1 (Randy Davison the lone dissenter), seeks to address safety issues as outlined by a Homeland Security study. The cost of the move has not yet been estimated.
There were 36 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question via email, voicemail and Facebook: Would you support moving the entrance to Kennett High School to the back?
