Renovations are in at Mesa Public Schools, but staff reductions are not. At its March 16 meeting, the MPS Governing Board approved the first chunk of a $40 million â up from $35 million â upgrade at Mountain View High, calendars for the 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years and heard that teacher and staff layoffs are not in the works â despite looming budget question marks. As for the calendars, the board approved no major changes, other than the addition of two âprofessional learning days,â with students not in school on days following winter and spring breaks. Associate Superintendent Holly Williams said this item had a split response among the 27,826 responses to a district-wide questionnaire on the calendar.
