On Wednesday evening I live blogged the Park City School District’s Master planning Committee meeting. Please forgive misspellings, grammar, etc as it moved pretty quickly.
The Community DID NOT Select a Preferred Scenario for the Rebuild of the Park City School District’s Kearns Campus
You may have heard that the Park City School District has plans to renovate its Kearns campus. What started out with a School Board Master Planning Committee formed to decide whether to rebuild Treasure Mountain Junior High has morphed into… something else. As part of that process, three meetings were held with community members to discuss …

Students are Learning That They Need Constant Vigilance Too
In some twist of irony it’s a little amusing that students are upset over the high school’s media center being repurposed as a location for PC CAPS.

How do I both question what the school district is doing, but still let them know they have my full support …

It’s an interesting time for schools and teachers in the Park City School District. The School Board appears hell-bent on going on a building binge. Listening to school district officials on KPCW this week talking about the additional buildings the district wants, it sounds like a kid on Christmas Eve who almost can’t wait for Santa to …
Questions Abound About Rebuilding Treasure Mountain
I received some feedback that I was “all over the place” with my previous post about the School Board’s Master Planning Committee and the rebuild of Treasure Mountain. I’ll gladly take the feedback. I’m definitely not a writer. And I’m just happy someone read it :-). That said, I do want to make sure my …
Why Again Should We Tear Down Treasure Mountain Junior High?
During last night’s School Board Master Planning Committee meetings, people were divided into 6 groups. Each of these groups decided where they should put schools on a map (if they were to choose). This included tearing down and building new schools. The process started with Molly Smith, the meeting organizer, presenting example solutions. A participant asked why …
