Sources

  1. Reports that BICS opened August 26 for 1983–84, with new library and homeroom carpeting, new laboratory tile, the same teachers, and an aide added to the K–3 and 4–6 rooms. It does not provide an enrollment register, budget, construction invoice, or full staffing record. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
