Students from Magazine and
Booneville High Schools, in conjunction with community leaders
from the area, work together to identify concerns as well as
opportunities for the communities in South Logan County.
Students were allowed to
openly discuss education and career plans, as well as
obstacles to their planned future. Teens were also
encouraged to share threats to them and their peers.
This information will be
combined with town-hall meetings that were held in the summer
of 2005 to help develop and implement a strategic action plan. |
