The Dakota Pacific Nuclear Option
There is a way to win against Dakota Pacific. We just probably don’t have the chutzpah to make it happen. I realized this when I was at my child’s dentist in Kimball Junction. Dakota Pacific owned the building. Dakota Pacific doesn’t care about you, and they sure as hell don’t care about me. However, they …

Jeremy Ranch, we need you to “Stop Dakota Pacific” this weekend

Park City School Board will be voting today on renewing the Superintendent’s contract
In today’s school board meeting, it appears that the board will decide whether to renew superintendent Dr. Jill Gildea’s contract. This will be a two-year extension on top of the existing contract, which runs through next June. I have argued that the current school board should not vote to renew Dr. Gidlea’s contract. With three …
Another reason why the Park City School Board members should allow the next board to decide on a contract renewal for the Superintendent
Karl Persson and I launched a Change.org petition asking the Park City Board of Education not to vote on renewing the Superintendent’s contract this year. We felt it was best left to the new school board starting in January 2025 since they will have to work with the Superintendent going forward. I am hearing that …
