CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record When students qualify for the national competition for debate or the Future Business Leaders of America club after months of preparing, it can be disheartening to see the price tag associated with traveling to the event. Chris Wood, the FBLA advisor at Park City High School, knows this as well as any coach, which is why he is always glad to see the Park City Education Foundation step up and cover the costs when it can. The foundation’s Academic Competition National Travel Fund helps pay for travel and competition costs for academic groups at Park City High School competing on a national level. It is one of the many programs funded by the foundation’s school grants, which were recently announced. The grants totaled $300,000 and funded about 50 different programs at schools throughout Park City School District, said Jen Billow, associate director of the foundation.

South Summit District opts for tax increase The funds would pay for higher salaries for all district employees CAROLYN WEBBER The Park Record It has been almost a decade since the South Summit School District raised taxes. This year, the district is breaking the streak. The South Summit Board of Education recently approved an $18 million operating budget and, with it, a tax increase that is expected to generate about $407,000. Kip Bigelow, business administrator of the district, said that the tax increase amounts to $40.39 annually on a residence valued at $365,000. The tax increase is funding a 4 percent increase on all district employees’ salaries, as well as a 1 percent bonus. “We are trying to get our salary sched- ule so that it is competitive with other districts,” he said. “We knew we would have to increase to stay competitive.” With the raises, Bigelow said that South Summit is now more comparable to districts in the surrounding Wasatch Please see District, A-9 THE RESORT WORLD’S MOST INNOVATIVE CONDOS PADS ARE COMING TO PARK CITY.
