Park City Board of Education president runs for reelection

Erin Grady

Erin Grady, who represents district 5 of the Park City Board of Education, is officially running for a third term.

Erin Grady was appointed to the school board in November of 2017 by the existing board members, finishing out Julie Eihausen’s term. The following year she ran unopposed.

Grady is a Park City High School graduate and former co-president of the Parley’s Park Elementary school PTA. She also worked in communications at Deer Valley.

During Grady’s tenure on the board, the school district oversaw remote and hybrid learning in the COVID-19 pandemic’s early stages, followed by in-person through the 2021-2022 school year, and passed a $79 million bond to improve school facilities.

Most recently the district underwent an investigation into its handling of the Summit County mask mandate at Parley’s Park Elementary last November, with County Attorney Margaret Olson finding last month that the school principal and district superintendent did not intentionally mislead the public about masks and had a “sincere desire” to enforce the mandate.

Grady said in a statement that it is an absolute honor to serve the community, and she’s incredibly proud of the board’s achievements. She said her passion is ensuring all students have equal opportunity to achieve their potential, and that she’s dedicated to fostering clear, honest communication and essential trust between the district and community.

Nick Hill, a Parley’s Park parent who was critical of the district’s handling of the mask mandate, is challenging Grady for her seat.
