It is time to begin the change that is necessary on the Park City School Board.
The current board has encouraged policies in the administration that ignore rules and best practices. During the first year of the Covid pandemic, before availability of vaccines, when masking, distancing and good sanitation practices were the only tools to prevent the spread of disease, they allowed lax enforcement in the schools. When planning to spend millions on school construction they decided to ignore local planning and engineering rules, thus ultimately delaying construction and likely increasing costs.
They have created an atmosphere where hiding unpleasant information from the public was encouraged. Cutting off public comment at board meetings became common. Most alarmingly, a result was unreported cases of child abuse.
To cap off the incompetence, they have rewarded the person who oversaw this disaster with a lucrative contract renewal. Already, by far, the best compensated public official in Summit County ($400k+/year plus a house) gets to cruise through three additional years.
We can start the change in the Park City School Board by electing Meredith Reed and Nick Hill. Ballots are in your hands. Let’s do the right thing.
