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.

An extensive review of annual tests taken by students in the Conneaut School District and the process to begin a study of the future of the middle schools in the district were part of discussions when Conneaut School Board members met in work session Wednesday evening.

Curriculum director Brenda Kantz reviewed the various tests taken by various grades of students during the last school year with a mixed result of some good and some not so good and what actions may be taken to improve the areas where needed.

For example, 4th grade students did very well on the required state math tests but the fifth graders did not. The 4th grade math tests at both Lake and Valley Elementary Schools put those students among the top in the county and beyond but the 5th grades results were down.

Tests reviewed included PSSAs, Keystones, SPPs and others.

Lake and Valley Elementaries were ranked No. 1 and 3 in math in Crawford County, while 6th, 7th and 8th grade math exceeded the standard for PA Academic Growth at all levels.


For additional details about Annual test results, middle school future school board topics , please purchase a Monday, November 6 newspaper at area locations or a digital download of the paper.
