Summary

The Beaver Island Community School Board’s June 9, 1997 summary records Pat Rowley’s retirement recognition, adoption of a $972,923 1997–98 budget, and a resolution qualifying the school for State payments equal to the amount that would otherwise come from operating taxes. A November follow-up says the school persuaded Rowley to return from retirement to assist with counseling.

Evidence limits

The Beacon says the minutes were too long for available space; this is a short summary, not the complete board minutes or a full budget document.
