The Park City School Board appointed the wrong person to the school board
Last week Mandy Pomeroy was appointed to the Park City School Board to fulfill the remainder of Kara Hendrickson’s term. Three people applied for the appointment: EJ Elliott, Mandy Pomeroy, and Carlos Villar. Meredith Reed and Josh Mann (that would be me, the founder of Park Rag) opted not to apply. Meredith and I have …
Does the Park City school superintendent matter?
Thanks to those who came to Jeremy Ranch Elementary to talk schools this afternoon. I learned a lot, so thank you. One of the topics that came up was Park City Superintendent Dr. Gildea. Discussions stretched from her $415K total compensation, to decisions she has made, to how she manages, and further. It was a …
The real problem with Summit County settling with the Park City School District on child abuse
Today we heard that the pretrial conference for Park City School District’s non-reported child abuse cases was delayed two weeks. This was after a previous delay. KPCW says that this delay was because “the Summit County Attorney’s Office and the district’s defense attorney have been negotiating a potential settlement.” First, we need to state what …
We can’t let Park CitySchool District’s lease revenue bonds impact teacher salaries
I’ve avoided talking about the school district’s lease revenue bonds because it’s a complicated topic. However, given the way the economy appears to be heading, it is probably about time to make sure we all understand the Faustian bargain our school board made. As most people know, the public passed a $79 million bond to …
Are you tired of paying for other people’s “Free Uber” around Park City?
There is an interesting article in The Atlantic called The End of the Millennial Lifestyle Subsidy. It describes how everything from Uber to Postmates has been cheap because of VC funding, a great economy, and low-interest rates. However, it posits that the gravy train is ending due to inflation and a turn in the economy. …
Park City High School is NOT the second-best public high school in Utah
How often have you heard that Park City Schools are the best in the state? Probably a lot. Recently the Park City School District sent out an email claiming Park City High School was the second-best high school in Utah, according to Niche.com. That sounds great. The only problem is that it’s not true. It’s …
I’m sorry. I may have let you down.
Well, I didn’t make it. I’m sorry. I wanted to help change our schools but as that old 70’s song goes, “I gave it my best but I guess my best wasn’t good enough.” I wish it could have been different, but it is what it is. Thanks to all the people who voted. If …
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
Dakota Pacific or the Olympics
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 …
