A story in the Oct. 25, 1995, issue of Education Week about school board elections in Wilkinsburg, Pa., misstated the size of a tax increase that a board member said would be needed to offset a pay raise sought by the district’s teachers. Board member Brian Magan said taxes would need to increase by 30 mills.
A News in Brief item in the Oct. 18 issue incorrectly identified the Democratic chairman of the education committee in the Pennsylvania House. He is Rep. Ron Cowell.
A story in the Nov. 1 issue listed an incorrect telephone number for ordering copies of a National Center for Education Statistics survey, “Arts Education in Public Elementary and Secondary Schools.” The correct number is (800) 424-1616, or (202) 219-1652 in the Washington metropolitan area.
