Park City School District Superintendent Lyndsay Huntsman and school board Vice President Nick Hill recap Wednesday's board of education meeting, including passage of the FY2027 budget and an update on contaminated soil pile removal from the Treasure Mountain campus grounds.
The EPA granted a Bevill Exemption for the soil, so it can be relocated to a landfill south of Provo. Huntsman said air quality tests showed no unhealthy levels of contaminants in the area of the former junior high and will continue to be monitored.
Meanwhile, nearby construction continues, including grading for Dozier's track and bleachers and soccer fields.
Huntsman also said enrollment may decline by 55 students next year. The board is considering a partnership with the YMCA and Mercy Housing for affordable housing on a 55-acre property.
Also, contract renewals for Huntsman and business administrator Randy Upton included salary increases of 2% to 5%.
