We were watching the March 7 Park City School Board meeting video and the board was discussing how they would educate the public on various locations for a new 5/6 school. A board member said that they should consider providing the public with pros and cons of each location (Bear Hollow, Ecker hill, etc.). School Board …

Over the past few years, the Park Rag has been critical of our Park City School District for a few different reasons.

The previous bond post-mortem also …

Last week we received an anonymous tip that the Park City School District was considering realigning grades this Fall — about a year or two earlier than expected.
