“I am very disappointed in the recommendation by Mesa Public Schools to close Powell Junior High School. Powell has been a key anchor institution for its surrounding neighborhoods and for District 3 for decades. It has played a very important role in the lives of West Mesa residents. I hope that Mesa Public Schools will find a new community use for this campus that will be of benefit to the adjacent neighborhoods and to West Mesa.”
