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. Park City School …

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. …

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 …

Most of us who live in Park City love the Park City School District. We have great teachers. We have great administrators at our schools. We have great kids who attend those schools. I am often asked why I am so hard on the school district. When I ran for school board, the head of …

We need better from the Park City School District. The District Office has become lazy. They fight off all of their inadequacies through words and they are often left battling withwe as a public are left wondering whether they actually cut it anymore.
