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 Schools Superintendent Jarrin Sperry has received a 5-year contract extension beginning this July 1.

Conneaut School Board members, meeting in March voting session Tuesday evening - the meeting delayed 6 days when the meeting of March 12, was rescheduled due to the cold, snowy weather - voted 6-1 for renewal.

The school directors had voted in December to renew his contract, facing a January deadline for such a decision, this vote on an updated contract meeting new state requirements calling for performance goals and a posting of the annual evaluation on the district’s web site.

Contract provisions call for modest 2% salary increases each year of the contract, continuing to pay 10% on health insurance premiums and an ability to receive a bonus not included in salary dependent on meeting the annual goals set forth.
