I recently wrote a story about allegations of child abuse at a Park City school. This was based upon a Salt Lake Tribune story which summarized

The gloves are off. It’s time for the Utah Legislature to understand that their decision to support reckless development like Dakota Pacific has a cost. Dakota Pacific isn’t about making our community better. It isn’t about affordable housing. It is about making a developer rich(er). For so long, the Summit County Council has said that …

It’s an interesting time for Park City schools. The November election seriously rebuked the current path of the school district. Meredith Reed and Nick Hill, who both won over incumbents, represent the public’s need for something different from our school board. Our school enrollment dropped. Nine, of twelve, Park City grades dropped in enrollment. Of …

I was hoping to be done posting about the Park City School Board election, but Mandy Pomeroy’s Campaign Finance Disclosures need to be discussed. It isn’t accurate. It portends that she has more support than she has. It also may not include all costs associated with her campaign. Why does it matter? If someone can’t …

We learned, again, from KPCW that the Park City School District has lied, lies, and continues to lie. Before, we were talking about building permits. Now we are talking about toxic lead dust potentially infecting five-year-olds, students, and teachers at McPolin Elementary and Treasure Mountain Junior High. This is the worst. Period.

When looking at politics, people seem to focus on national issues. However, I firmly believe local politics are both more important on a day-to-day basis and something we can all impact. With that in mind, I turn my attention to the Park City Board of Education. In Jeremy Ranch, I have the choice between incumbent …

If everyone is on one side of a trade, expect the other outcome. That’s a key component of Michael Lewis’s book The Big Short. Where are we with Park City? I believe most of us would say that we can’t imagine a world where Park City isn’t the center of the universe. More. More. More. …

I’ve come up with a theory. If the Park City School District Administration is involved in something important, they’ll likely get it wrong. This week’s unfortunate example is tennis coach Lani Wilcox. Evidentally a 16-year-old female tennis player was demoted from varsity to JV. Then, according to charges against Ms. Wilcox, the player became angry, …

In Tuesday’s Park City School Board meeting, the school board approved changes to Policy 10080 – Student Search Policy without any discussion. The changes are generally about e-cigarettes, metal detectors, and who can perform a search. However, it presents a good opportunity to discuss whether the policy is valid. Unfortunately, the school board had no …

On Thursday, Jeremy Ranch held its annual Fun Run fundraiser. This is an event where kids run around the field behind the school as many times as they can. It’s simple, and it’s loved by the children. As part of the event, school board candidate Mandy Pomeroy attended the run. She posted pictures of her …
