IT'S SAFETY FIRST AS SCHOOLS REOPEN

Kathy Strickland of Petal has never felt that her two children are in danger while at school.

But Strickland said she is glad that the city's public school district is taking steps - a new drug dog, upgraded security cameras and a new school police officer - to ensure all schools are safer this year.

"The security is great," said Strickland, who has a ninth- and seventh-grader attending Petal schools.  "I think the drug dogs are a good idea - anything they can do to make campus safer."
