North Hills Town Hall Meeting 4/10/2007 Posted by:Ken Sutton--Saturday, March 31, 2007

The North Hills School District, in cooperation with the Alliance Against Drugs, will host a town hall meeting to discuss drug use and its effects on adolescents and their families from 7 – 9 p.m. on Tuesday, April 10, 2007, at the North Hills Senior High auditorium.



“No community is immune to teenage drinking and other drug use,” Dr. Joe Goodnack, superintendent, said. “If we are to truly make a difference, we as an educational community must stand united against teenage drinking and other drug-use.”

The evening will focus on current drug issues facing teens, how the drug culture has changed, the importance of early detection, and what the community can do to make a difference. Parents as well as students are encouraged to attend.

KDKA reporter Marty Griffin will moderate a panel discussion. Panelists include school administrators, the local magistrate and law enforcement officers, district attorney’s office representative, a juvenile probation officer, student assistance specialists, drug and alcohol counselors, and a member of the Alliance Against Drugs.
