David Schaef update: (12/05/23)

I spoke with David yesterday. He had just arrived at the Encompass Health Rehabilitation Hospital in Erie.

There are still a couple of issues to resolve, and David is optimistic that Encompass has the skills. We didn't speak much of medicine and health, most of the conversation was about our subscribers and the Community News newspaper.

I was much encouraged by the tone of his voice and the idea he was interested in talking about Community News. So, he’s at that, “I want to get back to work” stage of healing.

He talked about his subscribers and a letter he is composing for them. He talked about how to proceed with the newspaper when he gets home.

He said he hopes to be home in 2 weeks.


Thank You all for your Love and Prayers and Well Wishes.

There will be no real estate tax increase in the Conneaut School District this upcoming school year that begins July 1, but the school district projects using fund balance to make up the difference between expenses and income.

Expenses are pegged at $36,574,791, while income is projected at $35,345,323.

Expenses over the current year are shown at increasing by $1,187,396, while income is shown as increasing by only $104,447.

It is unknown what, if any, increase may be coming from the state, so that figure is flatlined -listed the same as what it expected in the current year. Any increase in state support will then help lower the difference between expenses and income.

The school district is projecting an increase in this year’s fund balance of $124,357, rather than a decrease with the projected budget listing the spending of $1,229,468 in fund balance. Fund balance was projected to be spent some in the current year’s budget, but the district was able to increase, not decrease, the fund balance as just noted.
