Campaign themes
2013
During a September 30, 2013 candidate forum, Sanchez responded to questions about ways to improve district schools. "“We have to start targeting students when they are smaller, start talking to the parents (when children are young) and tell them how important it is to be involved in their child’s education," said Sanchez in response to a question about how to improve student performance. Sanchez also supported in-school punishments rather than suspensions for students who used profanity, countering Superintendent Kelt Cooper's policy of stronger penalties for inappropriate behavior.[3]
