Summary
BETA Design refined a Beaver Island Community School facilities concept that would replace the oldest parts of the complex with a classroom wing near the gymnasium, add off-road parking, and provide a safer playground. The school board hoped to obtain Treasury permission to present a bond request to voters in August 2007.
Evidence limits
This is a planning report, not evidence that the bond was approved or that the proposed construction was completed.
