A story in the Sept. 24, 2008, issue of Education Week about adding learning time to school schedules misspelled the name of Bela P. Shah, a senior program associate for after-school initiatives at the National League of Cities’ Institute for Youth, Education, and Families. Photo captions with the same story misspelled the names of three students. They are Yarei Sanchez, JazzLynn Garrido, and Lefstebany Franco.

An article in the same issue about state superintendents’ elections reported, based on incorrect information from the League of Education Voters, in Seattle, that the group endorsed Washington state schools chief Terry Bergeson’s re-election bid in 2004. The league did not endorse Ms. Bergeson.

A version of this article appeared in the October 01, 2008 edition of Education Week
