CONWAY The Selectboard began discussing the options it has for offering the town’s older residents access to a senior center and the resources it can provide during its Tuesday meeting.
The discussion began with a letter to the Selectboard from resident Lynne Hanley, which asked if the board would consider entering into an agreement with the Senior Center of Shelburne Falls “since the numbers of seniors in Conway is burgeoning and Conway has no senior center.”
About 30% of students and 65% of staff at Naperville School District 203 have registered to be part of the district’s surveillance COVID-19 testing program ahead of the district’s hybrid return to the schools, district officials said Tuesday. Earlier in January, district officials said they were aiming for 70% participation.
