School warrant articles total $1.2 million BY LLOYD JONES THE CONWAY DAILY SUN
CONWAY — Aside from the budget, voters here will be asked to decide 21 other warrant articles when they head to the polls in April. The articles, which include everything from all-day kindergarten to two school buses, total over $1.15 million if all are approved.
In addition to $32.5 million operating budget
Earlier this month, the Conway School Board voted unanimously, for the first time in the past few years, to support the budget of $32,451,229, which is roughly $600,000 less than the previous year's $33,039,842. The total does not include the other warrant articles, and three of those,
all contracts, do not yet have a price tag associated with them. Board member Randy Davison, who had not supported the budget the prior two years, is supporting this one. see SCHOOL ARTICLES page 8
