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.

Beginning times are the same for elementary, middle, and high schools, buses picking the elementary and middle schools students in a first run along with the Crawford County Career & Technical morning students, then returning to pick up the grades 9 - 12 students.

Bus routes are available and any one with questions can call the Anderson Bus Garage number to inquire about pickup time

Elementary and middle school starting times are in the 7:35 - 7:40 range while the senior high starts at 8:40.

Five teachers left the district since the end of the last school year including Bobbie Surface, Steve Neal, and Susie Miller, who retired and Angelo Picerno who took a job closer to his family home. Of the 5 leaving, the school district replaced only 2.
