Park City teachers’ kids need to be able to attend their school without exception
Yesterday we wrote that we will lose GREAT Park City teachers unless the Park City School District revamps their new enrollment policy to ensure that teachers’ kids can attend the same school where they teach. These GREAT teachers will go somewhere else in Utah to educate other children — not our children.
The problem with High Valley Micro Transit
I am a supporter of public transportation. In the past five years, I can count on two fingers how often I have driven to a Park City ski resort. I take the bus. It’s the same when I head to Main Street. There is no reason to drive and pay to park when you can …
Summit County taxes are getting too high, and that will start impacting everything
There was a time where taxes around Park City were low. That’s no longer the case. Personally, my home’s property taxes have more than doubled in ten years. I know people across Summit County are feeling the same thing. It’s getting out of control. Yes, I get that there is inflation. inflation should be at …
Do you really want Harmon’s at the outlet mall?
For those new to Park City, you may not know that we used to have a K-Mart. It stood where TJ Maxx, World Market, and Michaels now live. When it went away, Kimball Junction was a wasteland. That is until a redevelopment made it into the walkable, beautiful development it is today. Long-time readers will …
Why I am skeptical of the Park City School’s Bond and why I will vote no.
Long-time readers will know that I am a cynic with Park City School district spending. The previous PC Schools spending initiatives have been tainted by poor processes and statements from would-be architects that “you’ll never get funding for expansion unless you include sports.” That, may be true in Draper but are we trying to find …
The biggest problem with The Park City School Bond is deciding whether you trust them.
In your election ballot you received from Summit County, you’ll be asked whether you want to allow the Park City School District to issue a $79 million bond. It becomes more complicated because the school district wants to spend $50 million more dollars on other projects, through a different tax mechanisam, and want to finance …
Can we recall Summit County Council members if they vote for Dakota Pacific?
I had a reader email the Park Rag and ask if it was possible to recall Summit County Council members who vote for “giving the Tech Park to Dakota Pacific.” The question refers to an upcoming vote that the County Council will have on allowing a local real-estate developer to build on the land beneath …
How exactly is the Park City School District computing the percentage of Covid cases?
My kids go to Jeremy Ranch. I think the principal there, Shawn Kuennen, has done a good job of communicating about covid. Earlier this week he sent out a preemptive email warning parents that a mask mandate is coming. That got me looking into the numbers. In Tuesday’s Park City Scholl Board meeting, the district …
Thanks Walmart for my Booster
I grew up in a small midwestern town. Walmart took over circa 1980. It wasn’t great for the town. No, perhaps better said, it destroyed our main street. So, with some sad amusement, I received by Covid booster at Walmart today. I tried to get my booster last Friday at the Summit County Health Department …
