Errors in Guilford story

GUILFORD — RE: “Guilford votes to send grades 7, 8 to BAMS” [News, March 6]:

• Guilford Central School was a first-grade-through-eighth-grade school from 1957 to 1969. A kindergarten class was added in 1969.

• The school board member mentioned is Penny Lussier.

• The vote was taken by paper ballot, requested from the floor in lieu of a voice vote, not via Australian ballot.

• The entire discussion and vote on the article was one hour and 45 minutes, not more than two hours as mentioned.

• The tuition Guilford will pay the first year is $230,000 for all seventh and eight grade students, not $230,000 per student.

• Mike Szostak's name was correctly spelled once but not twice.

• Kudos for correctly spelling Carol Jaenson's name; it wasn't in an article I read elsewhere.
