The school district provided an overview of public meetings in the near future. If you are in interested in what’s going on with our schools, I guarantee you can get some answers at one of the following meetings. Again, if you can attend Friday’s “Office Hours With Superintendent Ember Conley” I would highly recommend it. …

Friday’s first”Office Hours with the Superintendent” at Hugo Coffee, was a huge success. Approximately 10 people showed up to spend an hour with Park City School District Superintendent Dr. Ember Conley. It was a very informal gathering where people took turns asking questions and providing input. The major topics discussed included: A citizen wanted to know how …

This morning, Park city School District Superintendent Dr Ember Conley held her first “office hours” and it was a tremendous success. She invited anyone from the community to Hugo Coffee at 8:30 to discuss any topic they were interested in. I’ll have more info on what was discussed later, but I would recommend that anyone who …
