Conway Schools Board of Education Meeting Live Stream 2026.10.13

The Conway Public Schools Board of Education meeting, titled October 13, 2026 (meeting metadata lists October 14 UTC), included a financial update and several spending-related actions. The district reported a completed $2.9 million transfer from the building fund to Fund 2 for employee bonuses, expected to be paid before Thanksgiving. It also reported purchasing two air-conditioned buses, curriculum and instructional materials, and Chromebooks for elementary schools. The board approved the financial report and voted to change volleyball line-judge compensation from $15 per match to $15 per hour. No bids, vendor selections, or contract awards were identified. Separately, the Conway Development Corporation announced a partnership offering $500 incentives for qualifying National Merit test scores and presented a $1,500 check to this year’s semifinalist, subject to community-engagement conditions.

The board received a briefing on the March 2027 school millage election and the proposed 2028–29 budget estimate that will be considered in November; no millage decision was made. In new business, members agreed to place a proposed educator advisory position on the next agenda for discussion. A board member also requested that future administrative contracts with added days or salary increases outside the salary schedule be presented separately for review; members said the information and its accuracy would need to be checked before further discussion. The consent agenda and personnel recommendations were approved.
