The Alamo Colleges will spend
another $43,000 on training based
on Stephen R. Covey’s self-help
book “7 Habits of Highly Effective
People,” according to an amend-
ment in the FranklinCovey Client
Sales Inc. facilitator license agree-
ment made with the district.
Gary O’Bar, director of pur-
chasing at district, said the funds

Instead of continuing to buy
materials and training services,
the district bought the rights to
some of FranklinCovey’s teaching
principles to save $225,000 on the
final level, O’Bar said.
The Ranger previously report-
ed FranklinCovey, the company
behind the training, was paid
$1,228,590 for training and mate-
rials for the 2013-14 year, accord-
ing to the original agreement.
As for the 2014-15 year, O’Bar
said $1,863,689 has been spent
training employees, or an addi-
tional $635,099.
Between 2013-2015 and the
additional $43,000 yet to be
spent, the new total would be

The church can help improve race relations “by not
being the most segregated hour in America on Sunday
mornings,” a minister said at Tuesday’s Hot Potato lec-
ture.
Though disguised throughout society, racism exists,
the Rev. Linda Baumheckel of St. Paul’s United Methodist
Church in Corpus Christi said Tuesday.
Her presentation, "Racism Takes Many Shapes,” was a
part of the United Methodist Campus Ministry’s Hot Potato
series, a forum that combines healthy debate on social
issues and free hot potatoes for participants.
A common theme echoed by participants was the idea of
forthright discussion between all races and religions.
Before Baumheckel’s lecture, Alex Ruiz, president of the
United Methodist Student Organization, said, “It is time for
the church to start moving on new issues in a progressive
fashion. We cannot continue to uphold ancient ideology.”
The Rev. Johnny Silva, director, introduced Baumheckel
to the crowd of about 25.
Baumheckel referred to disguised racism as “soft rac-
ism,” which drew a murmur of agreement throughout the
crowd.
She said when she is around her mostly black congrega-
tion, people will subconsciously ignore "my brothers and
sisters of color,” and direct questions straight to her.
Baumheckel talked about "black invisibility,” motivating

The addendum also states the
“Alamo Colleges shall have the
right to cancel or reschedule any
consultation, on-site training, or
coaching without penalty, provid-
ed the Alamo Colleges provides
written notice to FranklinCovey
up to 15 days prior to the calen-
dar event.”
If the Alamo Colleges provides
less than a 15-day notice, it must
pay a canceling fee of 75 percent
or a rescheduling fee of 25 per-
cent, but it does not have to pay a
fee if FranklinCovey cancels.
O’Bar said any further pur-
chases will go to the full board for
approval.
