Park City School District and the Health Department had better figure out what to do with Park City High School amid Covid surge
Cases of Covid-19 are spiking at Park City High School. Currently, 46 kids have tested positive. Normally, more than 30 students with Covid would trigger what’s called “Test to Stay” at the school. This would mean that all students would need to be tested to continue in-person classes. However, due to the language in the …
The Dakota Pacific Project is dead for now. Great Job Park City.
I firmly believe the only politics you can individually effect are local politics. Park City and Summit County residents demonstrated that with the Dakota Pacific project. Kudos to Mitch Solomon, and Friends of Summit County for Responsible Growth, for organizing an overwhelming community effort to Stop Dakota Pacific. For all intents and purposes, Dakota Pacific is …
KPCW, don’t get bullied by the Park City School District
Over the past two weeks, KPCW did what a competent news organization does. They reported on the actions of the Park City School District related to enforcing masks at Parley’s Park Elementary School. On Thursday, the school district went Full Bully on KPCW. Their lawyer sent a letter to KPCW. PCSD’s lawyer, Joan Andrews, writes: …
Video of Park City School Board Meeting on 11/16/21 Open Comment on PPES situation
On Tuesday, the Park City Schol Board met and a number of parents attended to speak about the lack of enforcement of the Parley’s Park mask mandate. A few supporters of the school board spoke as well. For some reason, the Park City School District no longer records videos of meetings. However, we were able …

Random thoughts from Yesterday’s Park City School Board Meeting
Yesterday, the Park City Schol Board met in regular session. As usual, there was a period of open comment. Yesterday’s open comment was centered on concerned parents about the handling of the PPES mask mandate and people in support of the school board. It was an interesting exchange between the School Board, parents, and board …
Park City School Superintendent Dr. Gildea has lost our trust. Now what?
We at the Park Rag have been critical of the school district in the past. The 2015 bond was a disaster. The school district has hurt substitute teachers (and our kids) by hiring a temp agency to manage substitutes and caused a substitute teacher shortage at the worst possible time. They inexplicably tried to keep …
Opposed to Dakota Pacific? The deck is stacked against you.
What a surprise. Summit County moved the Dakota Pacific meeting from November 17th to December 1st. Why would they ever do that? It could be because there was a problem with the meeting space or because a County Councilor couldn’t make it. However, my bet is it’s because Summit County wants to hamper the campaign …
Basin Rec is asking for up to a 10% increase in employee salary
I love Basin Rec. Their children’s sports programs are great. Their people are great. Their facilities are great, except for the cancerous indoor field. Today, however, let’s talk about their request for salary increases. During today’s Summit County Council meeting, their proposed budget is requesting a 5% cost of living adjustment and up to a …
Why I voted for the Park City School Bond
There are no good or bad ideas. There is only execution. So, I voted for the $79.2 million Park City School Bond. I wanted to give them the chance to execute. I fought the 2015 school bond tooth and nail. The process they used was manipulative. After attending almost every meeting, I wasn’t convinced that …
