Summary

The Beaver Island school reopened the day after Labor Day in 1975 with four new families and total enrollment of 57. The issue names the retained teachers, introduces Sister Lynne for the primary grades, and describes planned cooperation with the Charlevoix–Emmet Intermediate District.

Evidence and limits

The report preserves the school’s contemporary staffing, enrollment, and plans; it is not a complete staff roster, enrollment register, or evidence that every proposed activity occurred.
