Summary

The March 29, 1990 Beaver Beacon published Beaver Island Community School’s 1989/90 teacher-salary comparison and its explanation of rising operating costs. The account emphasizes enrollment growth, special-needs services, health-care costs, employee raises, administration, preschool, counseling, and athletics as reasons for the requested operating-millage increase.

Evidence limits

This is the school board’s public argument and comparison table, not an independent budget audit or a record of the later millage vote.
