Coming into this year\u2019s school year, rumors were rampant about the number of new kids coming to Park City. The narrative was that people were fleeing their Coronavirus-infused hellholes to come to idyllic Park City – and they were bringing their kids with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At one point I heard there were going to be 700 additional students in our district. I could have believed it. The only problem is that it wasn\u2019t true. Maybe the parents came here for the summer and are planning to stay for the winter, but it looks like they left the kids home with their nannies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday, during Leslie Thatcher\u2018s Local News Hour<\/a> on KPCW, Ms. Thatcher asked Park City School District Business Administrator Todd Hauber about the number of students the district is seeing so far. Mr. Hauber replied that official numbers would come out in October, but the district did an unofficial headcount (on Tuesday) like they do every year. According to Mr. Hauber, \u201cThere were around 3600 in-person students and around 835 online learners\u201d as part of the count. He noted that the total is between 4400-4500 students and is usually about 95% to 96% of the number of students that are presented as part of the official count in October. He said the numbers are in line with what they were expecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll point out that last year\u2018s official Park City enrollment was 4,757<\/a>. If the headcount turns out to be 95% of the final numbers, our student population this year will be around 4,735 \u2014 down a bit from last year. That would be similar to last year, where we saw a 0.5% decrease in students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this Coronavirus-crazed world who know what could eventually happen with the numbers, but as of today, it appears the fears of our schools being jammed due to new students were unfounded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
