Last night at about 9:30 the school district sent an email about the issue to the media. Today, the community has\u00a0erupted on social media.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not good.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few examples of the 120 comments posted this morning on Facebook:<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I am extremely disgusted by this! I am a student at PCHS and I find out that someone might kill me and the rest of our student body a couple hours before hand! They&#8217;ve known since October! I am losing trust in our district and I don&#8217;t know how much more I have left especially since they have basically put my life at risk! I do not appreciate that and I will not be going to school tomorrow! Have fun dealing with this superintendent Conley thanks again for risking my life&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<p><em>&#8220;Apart from dealing with decisions about sending our kids to school tomorrow, how are we supposed to go forward with any sense of security for our kids safety in the future with such a lack of trust?&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<p><em>&#8220;Completely unacceptable and alarming! It&#8217;s obvious the only reason we are being informed is because &#8216;word got out&#8217;. What is being done to prevent it from happening on another day? What happened with the student(s) who made the threat? I think we need more than a &#8216;kids are safe, it was handled in October&#8217; answer!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<p><em>&#8220;How, as a parent, am I supposed to make an informed decision regarding my kids safety when you keep crucial information and potentially life threatening danger a secret? Even now, you are withholding details that should have been shared months ago with parents. This is completely unacceptable and totally irresponsible given the recent rash of incidents in our country. Give us ALL the information NOW!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<p><em>&#8220;Reading a number of responses, I see the school district, once again, saying that &#8216;there is a lot of misinformation going around.&#8217; From experience, this means that 1. PCSD has poorly handled an issue, 2. PCSD communication was too little, too late, 3. parents, once again, have had to do their own due diligence to uncover facts and help each other, 4. PCSD does not like the external information they are hearing, regardless of truth, and 5. you are about to hear that everything is just fine, don&#8217;t touch the curtain, there&#8217;s nothing to see here. This, from a person who likes Park City and its parents and teachers with all my heart.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<p><em>&#8220;The true threat to our students is not this incident related to May 3rd. The threat is that our school system is being run by Dr. Conley who has repeatedly demonstrated she is not up for the job. She should step down from her position effective immediately.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"stag-divider stag-divider--dashed\" \/>\n<p>And yes, there are a hundred plus more comments that say similar\u00a0things. This is turning into a big issue for the School District. \u00a0I bet the School Board is following social media on this one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In October 2015, the Park City School District received a threat directed at teachers and an Administrator at the High School.
