A board member said that they should consider providing the public with pros\u00a0and cons of each location (Bear Hollow, Ecker hill, etc.). School Board member Petra Butler cautioned, &#8220;You don&#8217;t want a biased survey. That&#8217;s what you have to be very careful about. If we put what our pros and cons are we just need to be very careful. We don&#8217;t want a biased survey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bias may be our number one complaint with the School District\u00a0\u00a0Process over the last few years. Whether it is the make-up of groups put together to chart a course forward or the composition of committees that do the same, there always seems to be a level of distrust with the inputs into the decision making process. Sometimes those inputs seem\u00a0constructed to ensure that a desired outcome is achieved.<\/p>\n<p>What we like about Ms. Butler&#8217;s comments is that it shows an acknowledgement of trying to ensure that bias is minimized\u00a0in surveys.<\/p>\n<p>We just hope that translates into decision making as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We were watching the March 7 Park City \u00a0School Board meeting video and the board was discussing how they would educate the public on&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7033"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7033"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7033\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7033"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7033"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/v2.parkrag.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7033"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
