Pay to Play may include reading, rides CONWAY — Pay to Play is back on the table and could be implemented as soon as this fall at Kennett High and Kennett Middle schools. The Conway School Board has Pay to Play on its agenda for this Monday's meeting which is slated for 6 p.m. in the professional development meeting room at the middle school
(entrance is through the rear of the building near the scoreboard). Board members have had recent discussions about having students pay for the opportunity to participate in co-curricular activities. They are also expected to consider Pay to Read as well as Pay to Ride programs
at the high school level. Pay to Play was implemented at the high school level over a decade ago with students being asked to pay $50 per sport per season. Families with two or more children would see PAY TO PLAY page 8

Seizing on an opportunity, Poland Sprung this week unveiled Randy-Aid, a tribute to longtime Conway School Board member Randy Dandison. Dandison and Poland Sprung have each pledged to give 10 percent of the sales of the beverage to the school district, after all, that's where the idea originated.

"Before people out there start drinking the Randy Dandison Kool-Aid, you need to have accurate figures." Richard Kevin, middle school principal said, voicing his concern over the possible side effects from the drink. "I've had kids drink this stuff and within in minutes they're flying off the handle, it's almost like random babbling," he said. "It's team this, team that, cut a team, I don't understand what they mean." Poland Sprung has listed see RANDY-AID page 11
