CONWAY Candidates hoping to unseat incumbents on the Conway School Board on Monday vowed to focus on education and not issues that have divided the community in recent months.
The Conway School Board on Wednesday decided to vote in two weeks on a policy that restricts transgender students, faculty and staff from using restrooms that align with their gender identity.
CONWAY â Nicole Nordlund of Madison and Wendy Richardson of Conway, both former Republican state Legislature candidates and mothers of school-age children, went before the Conway School Board on Monday with a message: Make masks go away when students return to classrooms in the school district this fall.
They told the board they fear the schools are using coercive tactics to force children into medical devices.â
âIâm here to talk about mandatory masks for autumn,â Nordlund said.
âSince there have been studies of the masks carrying serious illness and transmitting now to students, who would be responsible should a student become ill from one of these pathogens? she asked, adding, In my experience, the schools have usurped powers to make medical decisions for parents.â
