Saucillo-Valencia explained her reasons for running in 2013 in an interview with EGP News:[2]
|
I’m tired of our kids just graduating without any basis of the core subjects. I rather they learn at a slower pace so they really are prepared for college. I’ve had children and grandchildren at the district and I want to make sure our kids are not stripped of their learning just to reach 100% graduation rate. |
