MT. WASHINGTON VALLEY’S DAILY NEWSPAPER
CONWAY — Albany does support full-day kindergarten and made its desire public on Nov. 8 — a message that didn’t get to the Conway School Board until last week, too late for the deliberative portion of annual
school meeting on March 5. During the annual meeting, attended by roughly 100 people, a few budget committee members supported the idea of all-day kindergarten but were reluctant to vote for it because SAU 9 chairman Jane Gray, of Eaton, had voted against it during the Conway
School Board’s budget committee’s meeting earlier in the winter. They didn’t want to subject taxpayers in Albany and Eaton to an additional price tag for the program if they opposed. see KINDERGARTEN page 9
