Editorial audit and provenance
Summary
Audit of draft articles against spelling, clarity, chronology, framing and other issues; revisions applied to correct names, clarify uncertain figures and avoid misattribution.
Audit summary: The draft articles were checked for spelling, clarity, chronology, framing, misidentification, out‑of‑context quotes, quantitative precision, process clarity and omission. We corrected inconsistent or unclear names where the transcript showed likely typos (for example, normalizing the district to 'Yankton School District 63‑3') and avoided attributing statements to individuals not named in the transcript. Numeric estimates cited by Representative Mike Stevens were reported as approximate and flagged for verification with state fiscal sources.
Provenance: Each article includes transcript spans for the first and last segments used to compose the article. Quotes are presented only when a speaker is identified in the transcript. Where speaker names were not given in the transcript, statements remain unattributed or are labeled as from 'Unidentified staff presenter' or 'Board member (unnamed)'.
Revision note: Articles were revised to remove inferred roles when not explicitly stated, to flag approximate numbers rather than present them as definitive, and to add a short 'Votes at a glance' article listing procedural approvals recorded in the transcript.
