Schools And Safety

Thu., Feb. 25, 1999

How safe do teens feel in their schools? What suggestions do young people have to make schools safer? The Spokesman-Review hopes to explore the answers with the help of Inland Northwest high school students. If you are of high school age and would like to brainstorm school safety, let us know. The newspaper is sponsoring a forum Monday, March 15, at 6 p.m. in Ferris High School’s cafeteria.

The forum is a follow-up to the school safety series, Learning the Hard Way, which ran Jan. 31, Feb. 1 and Feb. 2 in The Spokesman-Review. If you missed the series, you can find it online at www.spokane.net/safe

The forum is free and open to Inland Northwest high school students. To make a reservation, or for more information, contact Tina Carey at (509) 459-5485 or e-mail tinac@spokesman.com
