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 Conneaut School District, as all school districts in the state, face a huge problem in the upcoming year’s budget to begin July 1.

Projections on the increase in funding for the pension for retirement, which has been a growing problem over the past several years, looks to cost the Conneaut School District about $600,000 more than what is being paid this current year.

School districts pay what is directed by the state’s retirement board. The pension crisis is no fault of local school districts.

School directors learned of the $600,000 increase at a recent work session of the board.
