David,
You've obviously worked hard on this, and I'm trying to look at it with an open mind, but I simply can't get beyond Step 1.
None of the additional documents you have shown indicate days of attendance. Only the "Register of Attendance" does, and that shows 89 days of attendance for the fall term of '53-54. Despite the two different statements attributed to Mr. Head by the FBI, only his latter statement makes sense, since the other interpretation would indicate the school was violating state law the 54-55 school year.
If I was in charge of modifying documents to make a child disappear, I'd alter as little as possible--only what was needed--to avoid creating other problems with wholesale changes. And I certainly wouldn't invent a number that suddenly put an entire junior high school in violation of state law referenced in my own report. My bet is that the FBI simply didn't realize the conflict created by the 53-54 fall term attendance records in PS 44 and Beauregard. We are, after all, only left to analyze their mistakes.
You bring up some interesting inconsistencies, but they hardly prove this attendance record is wrong, at least in my opinion. Perhaps we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Jim
