Park City School District’s Leadership Faces Severe Criticism in 2024 Staff Survey
Update: Originally, I had written that “A group of advocates surveyed school employees about the Park City School District in 2022 and now again in 2024.” I received comments that felt this implied that all of the same people who were involved with this survey in 2022 were also involved in this iteration.

Are your kids bullied in Park City Schools?
