Conway school officials are proposing five R’s, and they’re asking patrons to support the plan with a few extra dollars.

Don’t worry, reading, writing and arithmetic will still be hallmarks of the city’s public school system. Indeed, the district’s “2012” plan would enhance those fundamentals by improving facilities and streamlining operations with a five-“R” plan:

• Reconstructing the high school with new lab, library, classroom and cafeteria facilities.
• Reconfiguring grade structure to better align age groups.
