Summary

The Beaver Island Community School Board asked voters to authorize an additional operating levy, planning to increase the 1990 total levy by 1.8 mills. The notice tied the request to staffing, counseling, energy and safety improvements, lockers, and computer facilities.

Evidence limits

This preserves the board’s millage argument and projected costs; it does not establish the election result or later spending.
