Cheney superintendent suffers stroke

By Paul Rhodes TSnews prhodes@tsnews.com

CHENEY – Cheney USD 268 superintendent David Grover is recuperating from a stroke he suffered on Dec. 30.

“He is doing great and is in rehab now,” said Cheney High School principal Greg Rosenha- gen. Rosenhagen had made note of Grover’s stroke and recuperation during Monday’s Cheney Chamber of Commerce meeting.

Rosenhagen said that while the stroke was fairly serious, Grover is improving rapidly through the rehabilitation process. He said Grover is able to walk by himself and is making other improvements “literally every few hours.”

Grover was able to participate in Monday evening’s meeting of the USD 268 Board of Education via Zoom, and has been in communication with staff members through Zoom, as well.

He is expected to make a full recovery. While the recuperation process may take some time, Grover is expected to return to work as soon as possible.

Last autumn, Grover was named as one of three finalists for the 2020 Superintendent of the Year competition from the Kansas School Superintendents’ Association.

The 2021-22 school year is Grover’s 10th with the district. Grover, a Great Bend native, has been in education for more than 30 years. He was principal at Iola High School prior

County seeks input on rescue plan grant funding

WICHITA – Sedgwick County invites businesses and non-profit organizations to help the county understand the current and future economic needs these entities may have due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

Sedgwick County will receive $100,235,109 directly from the U.S. Treasury under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), with those funds dedicated to assisting residents, businesses and organizations in response, mitigation and recovery from the health and economic impacts of COVID-19. The Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners (BOCC) has obligated almost $40 million of this award through March 31 to continue provision of no-cost testing and vaccinations to the public, keeping health, safety and public services safely open and fully operational; and working to reduce the excessive backlog of court cases created due to limited court operations in 2020 and 2021.

ARPA funding allows local governments to provide grants to businesses and non-profit organizations continuing to struggle to re-open or remain open due to the pandemic.

The county invites these entities to complete a letter of interest (LOI) now available on the county ARPA page, to help gauge the level of need and design a possible competitive grant funding opportunity in 2022. A submitted LOI does not obligate or imply any guarantee of award of funds. Should Sedgwick County create a future ARPA grant program, an application will be announced and available to complete at that time.

To complete an LOI, visit the county ARPA page at www.sedgwickcounty. org/finance/arpa/loi/. The deadline for submissions is

12 a.m. on Jan. 23.
