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.

The budget presentation book for the 2015-16 school year put together by Conneaut School District Business Manager Greg Mayle has received an honor in that the book has received congratulations on receiving the district’s first Meritorious Budget Award for 2016-2017!

The recent announcement noted that “You [Mayle] and your team should be very proud of your ach-ievement.”

The announcement went on to read that “ASBO International posts sample budgets on our website as reference material and since our reviewers were impressed with Conneaut’s...” the district was ask-ed if it would let ASBO post it as an example? That request was given an OK by school administration.

School directors met in special session June 7, and approved the retirement of Lori Putman, gifted coordinator effective June 7; she had earlier asked for a later date.

A cake and punch reception was held for retiring school district employees prior to the special session and a work session with that meeting time spreading close to 3 hours.

Among retiring staff present at the reception were Ellen Aurand, vo-ag, Karen Sutliff, kindergarten, and Gail Wilhelm, teacher, and Putman. Retiring people served the district for well over 200 years. See photo next week’s issue.
