Halfway through this one-of-a-kind school year, the Park City School District hasn’t once closed the doors of a school because of COVID-19, something that many wouldn’t have predicted in the run-up to schools reopening in August.
Park City Board of Education President Andrew Caplan called the fact that the district had stayed open — unique among Summit County’s three school systems — an “incredible success,” while acknowledging it was something of a surprise.
