He also said the district should focus on programs that engage students, parents and the overall community. “We need to make sure that all students are receiving a world-class education that prepares them to become productive citizens whether they plan to attend college or go straight into the workforce,” he said. Meanwhile, Sanchez said he would remain committed to the
