WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) West Hartford is scheduling a community forum to discuss whether Indian mascots should continue to be features at the town's two public high schools.

The Hartford Courant reports that Board of Education Chairman Mark Overmyer-Velazquez said some residents feel a strong affinity for the traditions of Hall High School's Warriors and Conard High School's Chieftains.

But others see the symbols as outdated and offensive.

Hall has dropped the use of an American Indian head as its logo, though the warrior remains the school mascot.

At Conard, sports teams have stopped using the Indian head logo, but the image is used on the masthead of the student newspaper, ``The PowWow.''

At Hall, the student-led pep club is named ``The Reservation'' and Conard's pep club is ``The Tribe.''

The forum is set for 7 p.m. Feb. 12.
