Erin Grady’s Response to Park Rag School Board Candidate Questions
Earlier this week I provided questions to each of the Park City School Board candidates. The first response I received was from the current School Board President, Erin Grady. Tell us about yourself. How will you help make the Park City School Board the best that it has ever been? I’m Erin Grady, one the …
This is what we are debating when we are talking about limiting some books in Park City schools
The debate is interesting when it comes to “book banning” in Park City Schools. As many people are aware, the Utah Legislature requires schools to adopt a content policy for library materials that are sensitive. This has led to discussions about what is appropriate in our school libraries. Two local parents were on KPCW yesterday, …
You’re probably against banning books in Park City Schools, but you should listen to this KPCW interview
You are probably against banning books in our schools. If you are like me, you like to think of yourself as as an enlightened person who believes our children should have even more enlightening experiences in school. Those experiences will push our students beyond areas where they are comfortable to become well-rounded adults. Yet, this …
The second most important person in the Park City School District is leaving
The most important person in the Park City School District is your kid’s teacher. The second most important person is Todd Hauber. Yesterday we learned Todd was leaving PCSD and headed to the Granite School District in mid October. You may not be familiar with Todd, but he has been the Business Administrator for the …
How are your Park City School District class sizes?
Last spring, there was a worry from teachers and school administrators about class sizes in our elementary schools. I wanted to check in and see how class sizes are turning out this year. I often point out the negatives of the district; however, if they solved this potential issue, they should get the praise. So, …
Why does the Park City School District have such bad luck?
Wow. A lot of bad things seem to happen to the Park City School District. It started with a magic rock that somehow broke the Superintendent’s kitchen window but didn’t break the window’s screen. This act of dark magic forced school board members, against their will, to chastise the community for its hatefulness. Then some …
What we have learned from the Summit County Attorney settling with Park City schools on child abuse
We learned nothing. OK, that’s not quite true. For those who haven’t been following the story, kids/parents reported child abuse in Park City Schools. Multiple people from the school district allegedly didn’t report child abuse to the proper authorities. The County Attorney filed a lawsuit against the school district. The County Attorney then settled with …
More horrific allegations are levied against Park City School District
The Salt Lake Tribune is reporting on a lawsuit brought against the Park City School District by the parents of a current second grader. The parents allege that when their child was in Kindergarten, he went into the principal’s office, was instructed to pull down his pants, and the principal touched his penis. According to …
The Winner Takes it All: Congratulations to Mandy and Meredith on the Park City School Board election
The final votes for the school board election were tallied, and I lost. I lost by 22 votes. I always say it, and I often repeat it — the most important elections are local. It’s what impacts us every day, and it’s something we actually have a say in. Thank you to everyone who voted …
You’re going to pay more taxes to the Park City School District than you should
Park City School District’s clarity and trust continue to take hits. Let’s say 20 years ago PCSD took out a loan and the final payment is this month. They could either acknowledge that they have paid off their debt and let taxes drop because the school district’s loan has been paid off. Or PCSD could …
