CONWAY — Funding for full-day kindergarten and a non-binding referendum on closing one of Conway's elementary schools are among the warrant articles up for discussion at the deliberative portion of
annual Conway School Meeting Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the Loynd Auditorium at Kennett High School. Generally, it looks like meeting might be a whole lot quieter than last year. So many people turned out in 2011 that the meeting had to be moved from the auditorium to the gymnasium. The large turn-
out was created by an 11 percent cut to the proposed budget by the Conway Municipal Budget Committee. Budgeteers wanted school officials to get a handle on spending. It appears they did with this budget as 15 out of 17 members of the budget commitsee MEETING page 8

CONWAY — Better late than never? A winter storm at long last hit Mount Washington Valley and other parts of New Hampshire Thursday, the first day of March. Local schools were closed in SAU 9, as were many other local organizations such as the Gibson Center for Senior Services. No major accidents were reported as of 4 p.m. Thursday. Conway police recorded two accidents earlier in the day, one of which caused damage to two vehicles in an accident on Hurricane Road and another when a plow truck hit a Jeep in a driveway, but no injuries.
