The Park City Board of Education continues to zero in on a timeline and dollar amount for its master planning projects, including grade realignments and expansions at all of its schools.
At a work session Wednesday morning, the board was given an estimate of nearly $150 million to complete the work, including nearly $25 million for green enhancements.
The detailed analysis was provided by Salt Lake City-based architecture and design firm MHTN Architects. Dave Hart, of MOCA, which was contracted by the board to provide guidance for the projects, presented the information to the board.
At a previous meeting, the board asked Hart to bring a detailed cost analysis for the expansion projects at Park City High School and Ecker Hill Middle School, as well as cost estimates for the planned additions at Parley’s Park, Jeremy Ranch, McPolin and Trailside elementary schools. The board also named carbon neutrality and green construction as one of its priorities wit

Running With Ed is on.
After the Park City Education Foundation canceled its annual relay-race fundraiser last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the nonprofit is bringing it back this spring with some new guidelines.
Jennifer Billow, the nonprofit’s associate director of communications and development, said the changes are aimed at ensuring the safety of participants. The event is scheduled on May 22.
“Typically there is this giant start and finish at the Basin Recreation Fieldhouse with 1,500 runners and volunteers, but we knew we couldn’t do that with the current situation,” Billow said. “So, we will set up staggered starts at each of the Park City District schools. We felt that was appropriate, because Running with Ed is about raising money for our schools, teachers and students.”
