Audit and revision summary (internal)

Audit findings and corrective actions applied during revision.

Key issues found: inconsistent spelling of the district name ("Waiting River" vs "Wading River"), inconsistent spelling of Dr. Paolocelli/Policelli, unclear transcription of dates and statutes (e.g., "sevenonetwenty 25" and "bridal amendment"), and several places where union/authority names appeared as spoken ("SWERDA") and should be quoted rather than normalized without corroboration. Several timeline segment identifiers in the draft highlights were malformed and were corrected to use existing SEG IDs. The final articles correct the district name to the supplied canonical form (SHOREHAM‑WADING RIVER CENTRAL SCHOOL DISTRICT), normalize Dr. Paolocelli spelling to "Dr. Paolocelli" for consistency, preserve transcript language for ambiguous statutory references while noting them as cited in the presentation, and mark unknown or unverified numerical claims (e.g., comparison to other districts, Riverhead Charter's 3%) as claims reported in public comment rather than independently verified.

A full checklist of categories reviewed and the actions taken is below.

Spelling: corrected district name and normalized Dr. Paolocelli. Clarity: preserved transcript quotations; added brief explanatory context where speakers used shorthand (UPK). Chronology: ensured timeline entries match SEG start/end blocks found in the transcript. Framing: avoided editorial conclusions; presented claims as assertions and noted responses. Misinformation: left disputed or unverified claims attributed to speakers and flagged for fact check. Misidentification: did not assign surnames to speakers unless introduced in the transcript; used functional labels for the board president.
