Conway Log Cabin Democrat
From Leroy McClure Jr.,
Conway:
Who are we kidding? Do we really believe that Conway Public Schools is a perfect school system that is meeting the needs of all students? Washington, D.C., doesn't think so. If you ask the school system, they will try to convince you that they are doing a great job; however, if you ask the Department of Education in Washington, they will tell you that Conway Schools have four low performing schools, that's a fact.
