Watch D.O.G. program credited with positive male role models at Rusk Intermediate
Summary
Rusk ISD's intermediate school presented its Watch D.O.G. program to the board, with counselors and volunteers saying the initiative has provided students with positive male role models and a successful presence on campus.
Rusk Independent School District trustees heard a presentation on March 16 from Rusk Intermediate School counselor Trista Silvey about the Watch D.O.G. program, a volunteer initiative that places adult men on campus to serve as role models. Victor High and Burton Crain joined the presentation and described what a typical Watch D.O.G. day looks like at the Intermediate campus.
Board members were told the program "has been very successful at the Intermediate campus, providing students with positive male role models." The presentation preceded the formal board meeting and coincided with the arrival of trustee Nathan Acker, who was noted as arriving during the presentation. The board did not take formal action on the program during the session.
