Participants at a school-choice fair promoted the range of programs offered by Mesa Unified District (4235), saying the event helps families compare options and arrange campus visits.

"I think this is a really great way that we can show our community the strength of Mesa Public Schools because we can all come together and showcase our programs and be in the same space and really highlight one another," said Speaker 1, a participant at the event. Participants repeatedly framed the fair as an opportunity for families to learn about different schools and programs available across the district.

Speaker 2 described highlights at Westwood, mentioning musical programs, live animals and hands-on STEM activities: "We've got our music right here. We have goats walking around. Our robotics crew's got a fire officer involved with a robot," and invited families to visit the campus. Speaker 4 emphasized the value of choice, saying the district's diversity means "families that are looking for large schools, small schools, certain tracks like engineering or biotech," and noted that some families prefer smaller high schools within the district.

Several participants encouraged practical next steps for parents. Speaker 7 urged families unable to attend the fair to "take advantage of [each school’s] website" to sign up for tours and receive personalized campus visits. Speaker 5 said school staff and other families will help point parents to appropriate options when they have questions.

No formal proposals, motions, or votes were recorded in the transcript. The discussion consisted of participants promoting school programs, advising families on enrollment and tour sign-ups, and reinforcing the fair’s role in community engagement and student recruitment. The event materials and speakers emphasized program variety and encouraged follow-up visits via school websites.
