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.

Conneaut School Directors voted 9-0 to stay within state guidelines as the budget is prepared for the year to begin July 1 when directors met in monthly session January 11.

By law school districts have to vote by a date in January - this one January 26 - whether they will look to raise taxes above certain state guidelines or whether they will keep taxes below that amount.

The motion by David Schaef, seconded by Jamie Hornstein, means if the district would raise taxes at all, it would be within the state ACT 1 index of 3.4% or up to 1.7 mills. Any amount over that must go to the voters.

It is unlikely that the district will raise taxes at all this year with budget preparations at the board level to begin in earnest in February.

For additional details about Conneaut will stay within tax guidelines, as well as the headlines noted below, please purchase a Monday, January 16, newspaper at area locations or a digital download of the paper.
