The Park City School District continues to show signs of being dysfunctional
Somewhere in Arizona, former Park City School District Superintendent Dr Ember Conley is likely laughing. After being run out on a rail, her replacement, Dr. Jill Gildea is set to take over this fall. Gildea will make $65,000
The School bond failure of 2015 signaled a low point for the Park City School District. For the first time in recent memory, the school district could not convince the populace to approve a bond for school needs. Out of those ruins, we’d hoped that the district had grown stronger. We hoped they had found …
Does Summit County know they built a drop-off for Ecker Hill Middle School?
Some people have called it the Crazy 8’s. Others have described it as a disaster waiting to happen. What is that? The Kilby Road “improvements” between Fresh Market and Ecker Hill Middle School.

With the possible exception of things like box scores, race results, and stock market tabulations, there is no such thing as Objective Journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction in …
