Park City

The Park City Board of Education decided Tuesday to continue open enrollment, allowing students who live outside district boundaries to apply for the 2027-28 school year, The Park Record reported. The application period begins Nov. 15 and continues until the first Friday in February. [1]

Business Administrator Randy Upton has said enrollment is declining but that the drop has not made a noticeable difference in funding so far. He said open enrollment "changed the trajectory" of the district and is expected to help keep the student population stable. [1]

Superintendent Lyndsay Huntsman said in late August that preliminary reports showed 87 fewer students than the previous year, for an estimated total of 4,177 students from preschool through 12th grade. The district received 365 open enrollment applications for the current school year and approved 197, of which 20 declined. [1]

Board members will discuss class sizes and available space at their November meeting. [1]
