Mesa Public Schools will lay off 50 employees following the current academic year due to declining student enrollment. The district anticipates losing approximately 2,400 students, which translates to a loss of $18.3 million in funding. These reductions impact various roles, including teachers, a biomedical science instructor, a behavioral specialist, and instructional coaches. The Governing Board approved the layoffs with a 4-0-1 vote. This marks the second consecutive year of staff reductions for the district.
