Parsing the sentence, I think the key words have to be as the deceased. Thus, I don't think the sentence refers to the "after the year is over reverter," but to "what happens during the year"
Your explanation is a nice attempt but I don't think it's correct

Here's the full sentence:

Quote:
Then,at the end of the year,when the deceased disappears after graduation,the records revert to their original state,ultimatly revealing the extra student.In addition,all memories of her as the deceased are lost.All is forgotten.
Kouichi even adds

Quote:
The records and memories just go back to normal?
Memories going back to normal would imply that students forget the Another after graduation.

edit:

Reading that again,maybe you're right but that would be some REALLY awkward phrasing.

Maybe haguruma (or anyone fluent in japanese) can help us out and tell us if it's just awkwardness that comes from the translation.
