Douglas Wilson and other Holiday Ranch homeowners said the Phase 4 proposal includes a 13,200-square-foot accessory building, 28-foot heights and hundreds of lockers proximate to Lucky John Drive, a residential street that backs the high school. \"My house went from having open space to not having a big building in front of it,\" Wilson said. \"We're being told that concessions and the accessory dwellings are going to be moved closer to Lucky John, building a 28 foot tall building in front of our homes on the backside — it just, it really doesn't feel right for us as members of the community.\" Residents said trees and promised landscape buffering were not installed, and that construction activity had already altered views and introduced industrial equipment near homes.

Homeowners asked for reconsideration of Phase 4 site placement and mitigation measures. They suggested moving concessions closer to Kearns Boulevard — a nearby thoroughfare — and protecting Lucky John Drive from additional traffic, lighting and sound impacts. Speakers requested a direct point of contact from the district (the prior contact, Mike Tanner, had left the district leadership team) and asked for timely responses to previously submitted emails.

Board members acknowledged the concerns and said they would follow up with district leadership, the owner's representative and the project architect. The meeting record shows no vote or plan change at this session; residents were directed to a City planning meeting the following day and told district leadership would follow up to schedule a direct conversation.

Douglas Wilson: \"We would just really love to have a conversation, either with Mike Tanner, his replacement or someone before any of this moves further, because it is truly...completely changing the landscape of where we are.\"","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","PCSD Board Meeting | 2025.04.08","oneSentenceSummary","Representatives of the Holiday Ranch / Lucky John Drive neighborhood pressed the Park City School District board to re-examine Phase 4 of the athletic master plan, which they say places a large accessory building and concessions near their homes.","taxTitle","Park City School District , Utah School Boards, Utah","taxId",65974,"location","Utah","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081986,"Students and families urge board to retain Park City High School cheer and dance programs and coaches",1293,5336000,6629000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b&start=5336&end=6629","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b/thumbnail_5336000.jpg","/articles/6081986/Utah/Students-and-families-urge-board-to-retain-Park-City-High-School-cheer-and-dance-programs-and-coaches","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081986-d9c1eb5a563f8f3d58fe562063259941/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178290&Signature=cjKQfz7c4KgE-E-Ts7yxq8CvKQND7osRLVwf-VR-8Jv4SSRC5ARjhRznBJ6vB0mVvNQd0BC0hPvte7AhVTWqbI~337AgIHWTS~gjrck~WIjJ9mSwNxmRn9AOykncgWCfU11iLIYfWDe0n-QcrvyEacHHtQBq01T71dYsq9uI-PLvosJDREetUW~i2osz6pyGjnGre~NR06lmLfKn00tiBzvUk7p4BL43Qn8AMkngkrFNNOhPPq-gdiyYJP8KlUbmCM7GTCKxteSmL7v0XyaPe9un8acs~MZ6Gp1JVtgYzI0jFpQVA6AS3CDqT4rM6TstnDma7K7vE27YM6LsA5YRSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Multiple Park City High School students, parents and community members addressed the board during public comment to urge retention of the district's cheer and competitive dance programs and to oppose combining classes that would mix beginner and advanced levels.

Speakers described the programs as important for school spirit and student opportunity. A senior who spoke for the cheer and dance participants said, \"If we don't have a coach next year, the spirit rates... will just decrease,\" and warned that losing the program would reduce community attendance at athletic events and harm students who rely on the activity for motivation and college prospects.

Parents and other family members raised safety and continuity concerns. Lisa Finney, who described herself as a substitute teacher and parent, opposed combining competitive dance with beginning classes and said mixing levels would be \"like combining an AP calculus class with beginning algebra\" and would be \"completely inappropriate.\" Another parent, Cynthia Estasos, described four years of different cheer coaches and said consistency this year produced measurable growth: \"We were really looking forward to next year being able to go out and compete for the first time in 3 or 4 years.\"

Several student speakers detailed how a combined class of 26 students would strain a single coach's ability to teach technical skills, practice choreography and maintain safety, especially for tumbling and stunting where certified coaching matters. \"Liability — having someone that knows what they're doing — can make a huge difference,\" a student said. Parents also framed the issue as one of competitive opportunity: some athletes said participation on a well-coached squad influences college recruitment.

Board members did not take immediate action at the meeting; several board members acknowledged hearing community concerns and said they would factor public comment into staffing and scheduling discussions for the coming school year.","Dozens of students, parents and community members told the board that proposed consolidation of dance classes and uncertainty around coaching threaten competitive opportunities, safety and school spirit; speakers said losing dedicated coaches would diminish college recruitment pathways for some athletes.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081991,"Parents and community ask Park City district to preserve dual-language immersion, consider restarting Mandarin instruction",2062,4993000,7055000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b&start=4993&end=7055","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b/thumbnail_4993000.jpg","/articles/6081991/Utah/Parents-and-community-ask-Park-City-district-to-preserve-dual-language-immersion-consider-restarting-Mandarin-instruction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081991-60eb6bcf6dd80aafd24665a736b27e62/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178290&Signature=G7G3tnShl3LZZTgJk6WbU57SS6Ugvznd2ScKOYKythjk0kY8vjNEiRNd~We6LUXU6XStVtif9rgdHvT5jAHUVB~nsvDtD2eh0MBSXMEVvontPKNITK7S3JC--hIMHJ4SJ0uy2yH8Jt1XY6lgZnxBefStPRZXuIq6alqKDtVh42HW4v-Kb~7MLk9zjfnPnh-aBsap7jGL7AxyX59T4s7xshV2X14R6sAIE8WmKPZi9K5bjTrLDC8HB8lEQsV62rABMo7UgTl-lLes1gDIiry3zLskzaw-A1EPZi-nTaU49~1rPDW4~XtcbMMHZySr9AviWfy9scQpASHe1piPOH9yHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Dozens of parents and students urged the Park City School District Board of Education during public comment to preserve a second-grade Dual Language Immersion (DLI) class at Parley's Park Elementary and to consider restoring Mandarin instruction at Park City High School.

Lily Honey, who identified herself as a parent of a Parley's Park student, said she represented \"dozens of families\" and submitted a packet of letters supporting the DLI class. \"We strongly urge the board, the district, to consider how much impact this program has had in the lives of our kids,\" Honey said, citing improvements in student engagement and confidence.

Other parents gave specific classroom examples of children who had \"come alive\" under DLI instruction. Britney Schumacher, a parent and Park City School District graduate, said staffing decisions should account for the program's demonstrated impact on students and urged the board to prioritize teacher retention: \"It would be a missed opportunity if those of us here didn't get to share our opinions and our experience with staffing decisions as they relate to teachers at the school.\" Tatiana Portela described how her son initially resisted DLI but, after teacher outreach, chose to enroll and \"said he was absolutely not gonna do it\" and then \"within a week ... said, 'I wanna do it.'\"

Separately, Enrique Navaishis asked the board to approve a formal survey to measure K–12 demand for Mandarin instruction and to restart Mandarin classes at the high school. Navaishis noted Park City previously taught Mandarin but said the program was canceled in 2022 after the last teacher resigned and a replacement was not found. \"Our objective is to restart the Mandarin learning at the high school, and if possible, start Chinese DLI within Park City School District,\" he said, and suggested the Park City Education Fund could help recruit and fund a full-time teacher.

Speakers described broader reasons to support language programming, including preparing students for global economic competition and improving cultural diversity and inclusion: \"Having more diversity makes the school more welcoming,\" one speaker said. Commenters asked the board to consider survey-based data, pay scales that make teaching positions sustainable, and to ensure any restarts include sufficient staffing to reach higher-level courses.

No formal board action on language programming was taken at the meeting; the board did not announce changes to DLI or a formal Mandarin reinstatement plan. Several board members and district staff acknowledged receiving public input and said they would factor it into upcoming staffing and program discussions.","Speakers at public comment urged the Park City School District board to retain second-grade dual-language immersion at Parley's Park and to explore restoring a Mandarin program at the high school; a community organizer asked the district to conduct a K–12 survey to assess demand for Mandarin.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081996,"Basin Recreation seeks public-trail access across Park City School District land",552,3000000,3552000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b&start=3000&end=3552","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b/thumbnail_3000000.jpg","/articles/6081996/Utah/Basin-Recreation-seeks-public-trail-access-across-Park-City-School-District-land","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081996-9aa98c69e06e5af5f5bbc3979a0cf013/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178290&Signature=JTlS-oT0DpttCezUCKSTJwd7pNuF~PwtLYXqzorckrV~1OxXfocdOgLwKpXAvjyWuZ69umQBHzi15~Ps7ScaAiNGVdD6qF79ATmnT-INOR4TPB9urbrzNpYosSm5MGHqxo-5izIKgdtDZAGUVbnNciNlJrXhaHZ0ZPhQaYhEWu~SU-9S6oY3vHqDtphIQWk3TCZ8Uy6N2I5Vck7PP2b-oUD5JoATv76rjOhlSq66PB7JQq8eRfnflCKo6UWkxG83qY1kfuPuFrRMTNbWhUOjFi-DTjeKbC39O3CQviygY2osG8FVc0co4RgenIbe5gSBnntZeRfKvHKWNBYA2WWtyg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Matt Wagner, district superintendent for Basin Recreation, asked the Park City School District Board of Education to collaborate on building the proposed Haimuki Trail, a multiuse and single-track trail connection intended to link Pinebrook Open Space and Ecker Hill area trails to the Mid Mountain Trail.

Wagner said the trail concept rests on an option agreement originally established in 2011 that included a provision for public trails through the Haimuki property; that option expires in 2026. \"We're coming up against one of them, which is the end of the agreement in 2026,\" Wagner said, adding that recent land transfers have made negotiation to deliver the long-promised trail \"possible.\" He said construction could begin \"as soon as this summer\" but that work should not mobilize before July 1 because of environmental constraints.

The proposal asks the district to allow a short corridor that would cross the upper corner of school property to tie an improved multiuse pathway to existing neighborhood trails. Basin Recreation proposes separate single-track alignments where users gain or lose roughly 500 feet in elevation to keep fast downhill cyclists off pedestrian sections. Wagner also said Basin Recreation plans to move a community walking loop away from the immediate school edge \"up the hill and away from the school\" and to route trail users to parking and trailhead areas adjacent to the school rather than through campus grounds.

Board members and staff pressed Basin Recreation on student safety, campus access and parking management. A board member summarized the district's primary concern as \"ensuring student safety and making sure they're accessing the trail for -- and not in the roadway.\" Wagner said Basin Recreation is \"absolutely open\" to security and separation measures and noted the district could make the trail available as a community amenity for students as well.

Basin Recreation described carrying-capacity and parking steps already in place at other trailheads: it hires a team of three managers stationed at trailheads, and uses automated counters that show peak weekend entries roughly between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Wagner estimated the proposed connector could be about 5 miles of trail in total if completed but said completing all segments in one season would be a push depending on weather and construction windows.

The board invited Basin Recreation to return with additional details and indicated it expects a follow-up next month before any formal decision. No formal vote or agreement was recorded at the meeting.

Wagner: \"We're really just here to open up the conversation and answer questions you might have based on this proposal.\"","Basin Recreation told the Park City School District board it wants permission to route a multiuse trail across a small corner of district property to connect existing public trails to the Mid Mountain Trail; proponents said construction could begin this summer but raised student-safety and parking questions.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6081977,"Park City School Board approves FY26 capital budget items, adopts policies and accepts offer on district-owned home",1324,4940000,6264000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b&start=4940&end=6264","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2940172-2f12915d97ef0144ac0cab4fd8772b3b/thumbnail_4940000.jpg","/articles/6081977/Utah/Park-City-School-Board-approves-FY26-capital-budget-items-adopts-policies-and-accepts-offer-on-district-owned-home","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081977-5c09ff0d922a277d9b45b04a302f8617/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178290&Signature=mWpfxA5zzaF8Jw9oEjMQlCYIZKA8Y9x8PWPENkw0L9E2o8jAlUydxh208L5D2V4kpVaIq7YiILaVhESapG3uXEPt9Wjue247SyS7fFvjTAz1GYiXF2AGj10lI9MWdYwdCoUqb9aOOvhQFjeM3LV-mvzVNUeHbENMgJa~hDUpz4vqrJR2fbe-dQPKAced3N8sEBQGtjB5O~MEOIbUxRXNXvf9haYvNQVfBAf1p-c0b9BFEP64d-DUqkGUjEiW4l52dcr0p2~AIbfY02PFhZCjcbEdd9SOxavX7TRn4ZO1scjIglrZNqkHunN0RKmHuiHobtMFcfz2y-N794RrW-6RsQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Park City School District Board of Education conducted several formal actions during the meeting, approving routine consent items, advancing the FY26 capital budget to allow early contracting on prioritized projects, accepting an offer on a district-owned residence and adopting several policy updates.

Consent agenda: The board approved the consent agenda (travel requests, expense and revenue reports, check register, new hires and monthly reports) by voice vote. No roll-call was recorded in the public transcript; a board member moved and another seconded the motion. Minutes show the motion passed on voice vote.

Supplemental fees and programs (second reading): The board approved supplemental items on second reading that included preschool, Park City High School esports (noted as now sanctioned by the Utah High School Activities Association), and fees for Eckert Hill Middle School activities. The motion passed by voice vote on second reading with no roll-call breakdown in the record.

Sale of district-owned home: The board voted to accept a contract offer for the district-owned home in Jeremy Ranch. The district indicated an offer greater than the asking price had been received; details of the offer will be disclosed after closing. The board moved and seconded acceptance; the motion passed.

FY26 capital budget: The board reviewed the FY26 capital budget framework and authorized staff to begin early contracting and purchase orders for long-lead capital items. The presentation detailed revenue sources (property-tax-based capital levy, local levy, transfers from operations, and bond principal/interest payments) and prioritized capital requests totaling roughly $5.8 million for immediate work, with additional projects listed as contingent. Trustees moved to approve the FY26 capital budget framework, including authorization to begin work on certain long-lead items; the motion passed by voice vote.

Policies: The board posted four policies for public comment and later adopted a set of policies on final reading. The transcript records motions to post and adopt policies (policy identifiers referenced in discussion included jury duty, graduation requirements, attendance and dress-code drafts; adopted policies included family-education rights and other routine items). Motions to adopt were passed by voice vote.

Adjournment: The board moved to adjourn the public meeting and reconvene in a closed session earlier in the record for a personnel matter; later in the meeting the board also moved to adjourn the open session. Both adjournment motions passed by voice vote.

The public record contains no roll-call vote tallies in the on-record transcript for these motions; all actions passed on voice votes. Several items (notably the FY26 capital budget and the athletic-project procurement) may return to the board for further approvals as bid and contract details are finalized.","At its meeting the Board of Education approved a set of consent items, moved forward capital approvals that allow early contracting for prioritized projects, accepted an offer on a district-owned residence and adopted policy updates; motions were passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies in the transcript.","actionData","errors"]
