Park City School District adopts $248 million budget for 2025-26

PARK CITY, Utah — The Park City Board of Education on Tuesday adopted a $248 million budget for fiscal year 2025-26, approved a $23.1 million guaranteed maximum price for the Treasure Mountain Sports Complex, and confirmed the district will not raise local taxes in the coming year.

The budget includes $118 million for the district’s general fund, covering instruction, counseling, school administration, and transportation. An additional $65 million is allocated to ongoing construction projects—two tied to early childhood education and two linked to the district’s long-term athletics master plan.

Two preschools have already been added to elementary campuses; two more are in development. On the athletics side, the approved budget moves forward the demolition of Treasure Mountain Junior High and construction of two soccer fields and eight tennis courts in its place. Turf softball and baseball fields are planned east of the site. Renovation plans for Dozier Field include a new track and support buildings for locker rooms, concessions, and restrooms.

Business Administrator Todd Hauber said the $23.1 million price for the Treasure Mountain complex is still considered tentative, pending final adjustments. The board’s approval allows staff to continue work through the summer without delay.

While the budget reflects a 6% increase in teacher salaries, the district avoided a property tax increase by absorbing staffing reductions due to declining enrollment. Enrollment across the district is projected to drop by 2.67%, bringing the total student count to 4,007.

Some homeowners may still see adjustments in their tax bills depending on property values and pending state-set levies. The Utah State Tax Commission has not yet finalized the basic school levy or charter levy.
