Today; Harassment in Schools; Education Tomorrow; King and Chavez: Similarities and Differences; etc. Your topic suggestions are invited.</span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2" color="#1d1b11" face="Euphemia"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We'd like to discuss the essay competition with teachers and school boards and we're counting on your help. When do boards in Mendocino and Fort Bragg meet? Who
should we contact (principals, social studies teachers)? </span></font></p>

schools' agendas.</span></font></p>
