Rust attends program on advocacy
Special to the Journal-Spectator
SAN MARCOS — Rachel Rust, presi-
dent of the Wharton School Board, was
among a group of school board members
gathering in San Marcos on Nov. 8-10 to
focus on their roles as advocates for pub-
lic schools with state and national policy
makers.
Trustees, who met for the second
of five training sessions of Leadership
TASB, began their activities by touring
facilities at the Comal ISD and partici-
pating in an Advocacy Boot Camp pro-
vided by the Governmental Relations Di-
vision of the Texas Association of School
Boards (TASB).
In the advocacy training, trustees
gained tips and practice in providing tes-
timony before legislative committees and
learned the protocol for appearing before
governmental entities.
On Friday, the group heard keynote
speaker Bill Graham of Graham Corpo-
rate Communications. Graham, a na-
tionally recognized trainer in effective
communication, provided tips on effective
strategies for contacts with policymak-
ers. His client list includes numerous po-
litical candidates, corporate executives,
and university classes. Afternoon activi-

fied by police, were found on
the location.
Wingo was transported to
Gulf Coast Medical Center,
but was later pronounced
dead by Justice of the Peace
Precinct 1 Jeanette Krenek.
During initial coverage,
Wharton police said they
thought Wingo had been
walking eastbound on the
FM 102 shoulder in a poorly
lit section of FM 102 when he
was struck.
After receiving a tip, Whar-

render aid. She was later re-

The alleged crime is a third
degree felony. If ultimately
convicted, Douglas could face
up to five years in prison or
one year in county jail and/or
a fine up to $5,000.
