Listening First. Bringing Mesa Together.
Public education works best when districts, teachers, and families work together.
I’m Josh Chilton — a Mesa Public Schools parent and a supporter of public education who has spent years listening to students and families, and providing resources to educators across Arizona. I don’t believe in rushing decisions or pushing agendas. I believe in understanding the full picture, asking thoughtful questions, and bringing people together to find practical solutions to helping students succeed.
Our district faces real challenges — but also incredible opportunities. From preparing students for meaningful careers, to ensuring every child has the support they need to succeed, to keeping our schools safe and strong. The best outcomes come from collaboration and trust.
That’s the approach I’ll bring to the Mesa Public Schools Governing Board:
Listen carefully. Work together. Make informed decisions that put students first.

Why I’m Running
-
I believe in explore careers early and graduate with the skills, direction, and confidence to succeed in college, careers, and life.
-
Every student learns differently. Schools should empower educators to understand each student’s needs and provide the flexibility and support necessary for them to succeed.
-
Education is not one-size-fits-all. MPS should work with families to expand access to programs like accelerated learning, STEM, and Montessori within their local communities.
-
Students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) need strong collaboration, consistent resources, and focused support to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed.
-
Students and teachers deserve safe campuses and well-maintained facilities that support learning without disruption, backed by responsible and transparent budgeting.
