Summary
In April 1974, the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids’ Education Committee notified Beaver Island that the Sisters might be removed within two years because there were not enough Sisters to fill all needed assignments. The report records community concern about the school’s future.
Evidence and limits
The notice records a warning and possible future change, not an actual withdrawal or a final staffing decision. It gives no school-board minutes, replacement plan, or later outcome.
