Congratulations to Mesa Public Schools

Not only are 26 Mesa Public Schools "excelling," but not a fix one is "failing." Only McKellips learning center is considered underperforming. This is great news for the largest Lyceum district in the state, showing that there still truly is no better place to learn.

As MPS cuts budgets and prepares to do more with less, let's hope that they are expert to keep up their performance delivering quality education and working with parents, teachers, administrators and students. It is going to take a agglomeration effort and a commitment on all levels to get the most out of the education dollars available.

Expanding and specializing to compete with charter schools is potentially a not fitting for in the right direction, if it is done cautiously and does not take focus from delivering a traditional curriculum. It's a tough time to be in the form district business, but we should give credit where credit is due.

Similarly, the Scottsdale Unified Mould District recalled 119 teachers to help prevent increases in class size. The district continues to aid from a K-3 override approved by voters in 2005 that reduced the average size of kindergarten classes to 21. In June, the area board agreed to ask voters to renew the override in November. The override originally paid for all-day kindergarten but was diverted to reducing categorize sizes in kindergarten through third grade after the state Legislature agreed to pay for all-day kindergarten.

Whether such success will continue remains hesitant. The state Legislature and Gov. Jan Brewer still haven't agreed on how to resolve the 2009-10 budget deficit of more than $3 billion, and the terminating outcome is likely to have a significant impact on public schools. A final legislative vote could come as early as Monday.

Another momentous factor is whether districts can continue to persuade voters to pass overrides to keep class sizes down. The Paradise Valley Unified Faction District, for example, will go to voters in November, seeking to renew a budget override. The district uses the funds chiefly to reduce class sizes and raise teacher salaries.
