Calendar Shuffle Unveiled

The Park City School District’s new 2026‑27 calendar, with mid‑week openings and embedded professional development, reflects a bureaucratic compromise rather than true efficiency.

In a late‑night swirl of paperwork, the Park City School District released a calendar that betrays its own institutional inertia. Superintendent Lyndsay Huntsman proclaimed the shift to a Wednesday opening and dispersed PD days as if to barter compliance for convenience. Yet the result is a maze of dates that will still clash with the annual Marathon on SR‑127 and the holiday traffic into the city. The municipal scheme, wrapped in faded municipal beige, begs for a workaround. Instead of courting the red‑white schedule’s promise, drivers should exploit the back‑route via SR‑224 to bypass the congested city center, or hop the Richardson Flat bus east of the school to dodge the new ramp closures. In short, the school’s new calendar is a bureaucratic smorgasbord that blends the old and the new, but one can still shave hours off commuting by taking the quieter southern corridor.
