Correction

Several town and school officials commented on the March 16 Lincoln Squirrel article headlined “Residents demand more oversight of Hanscom funding,” specifically:

• Questioning the use of “judgmental” words such as “error” and “mistakenly” to describe the allocation process involved, rather than using more neutral language.
• Noting that the Collins Center report was a comprehensive review of the Hanscom contract, not an audit.
• Noting that the School Committee has no power to spend money from the town’s general fund, only from the Hanscom fund.

The article has been updated to reflect these changes. A more detailed response from one or more of those officials will be published as a “My Turn” piece in a day or two.
