Park City will be better without the Sundance Film Festival
In 2019, Sundance showed Robert Redford the door. I guess he got too old and stuck in his ways. Now they have done the same to Park City — too old and stuck in its ways I guess. Sundance is off to greener pastures in Boulder. Godspeed Sundance. But at least we are in good …
The Dakota Pacific Nuclear Option
There is a way to win against Dakota Pacific. We just probably don’t have the chutzpah to make it happen. I realized this when I was at my child’s dentist in Kimball Junction. Dakota Pacific owned the building. Dakota Pacific doesn’t care about you, and they sure as hell don’t care about me. However, they …
Why I support the Stop Dakota Pacific referendum
If you don’t know what Dakota Pacific is, you will in about two years. It is going to remake the entry corridor to Park City fundamentally. Dakota Pacific Real Estate is a Salt Lake City-based development firm that acquired the Kimball Junction Tech Center with the goal of transforming it from a low-density office park …
Jeremy Ranch, we need you to “Stop Dakota Pacific” this weekend
If you live in Jeremy Ranch, you have likely seen volunteers by the golf course and the Park and Ride asking you to sign a petition to “Stop Dakota Pacific.” If you have driven by and not stopped because you weren’t sure what it was about or how important it is, please reconsider. The petition …
Park City School Superintendent Jill Gildea has resigned, effective January 31, 2025
I have been provided a PDF of a message to the school district team from Park City School District Superintendent Dr. Gildea, saying she is retiring from the Park City School District at the end of January. I’ll write more later on what this means for this district, but I wish her luck. I mean …
Park City Superintendent Dr. Jill Gildea is the finalist for a CEO position in Colorado
Today I learned that Park City School Superintendent Dr. Jill Gildea is the finalist for the CEO position with Colorado Early Colleges, in Fort Collins. This was announced on the school’s website. It appears the school voted on August 16 to make her THE finalist. In accordance with Colorado law the school had to publish …
The show goes on. Park City School Board renews the superintendent’s contract.
Thank you to everyone who supported Karl and my petition not to renew Dr. Gildea’s contract this year. We did well; as of now, there are over 525 signatures. Unfortunately, we didn’t do well enough. The Park City School Board voted 3-2 to renew her contract. As they say, though, the show goes on. We’ll …
Park City School Board will be voting today on renewing the Superintendent’s contract
In today’s school board meeting, it appears that the board will decide whether to renew superintendent Dr. Jill Gildea’s contract. This will be a two-year extension on top of the existing contract, which runs through next June. I have argued that the current school board should not vote to renew Dr. Gidlea’s contract. With three …
Another reason why the Park City School Board members should allow the next board to decide on a contract renewal for the Superintendent
Karl Persson and I launched a Change.org petition asking the Park City Board of Education not to vote on renewing the Superintendent’s contract this year. We felt it was best left to the new school board starting in January 2025 since they will have to work with the Superintendent going forward. I am hearing that …
