22-year-old runs for school board

Michael Sanchez, a 22-year-old student at Northwest Vista College, recently announced he would campaign to become a South San Antonio Independent School District trustee.

"I can bring fresh ideas to the South San ISD school board," Sanchez said. "When I saw the decisions made, I wondered who was speaking for the kids. It was something that I felt I wanted to do for a long time."

Sanchez is running for the District 2 trustee position, which puts him against Trinidad T. Mata, the South San board of trustee’s vice-president.
