Audit of draft articles vs. transcript and issues found

spelling: [ {"type":"spelling","description":"Transcript uses multiple spellings for local school/program names (e.g., 'Mealonsky', 'Mesalons', 'Balonsky'). This creates ambiguity for proper nouns in articles.","severity":"moderate"} ]

clarity: [ {"type":"clarity","description":"Some budget figures were described conversationally in the transcript; articles should mark approximations and indicate when amounts are 'not specified.'","severity":"minor"} ]

chronology: []

framing: []

misinformation: [ {"type":"misinformation","description":"Potential risk in standardizing local program names without an authoritative source; final articles use the transcript spelling 'Mesalons High School' consistently and note transcript variants in clarifying_details.","severity":"moderate"} ]

misidentification: [ {"type":"misidentification","description":"Several speakers are referenced by first name only in the transcript; where roles were not explicitly stated the articles use functional labels (e.g., 'Staff member', 'Committee member'). This was documented in speaker entries.","severity":"moderate"} ]

out_of_context: []

Quantitative precision: [ {"type":"quantitative_precision","description":"Numbers such as 'about $70,000' (adult ed) and fund balances ($3.5M, $800K) were stated conversationally. Articles mark these values as approximate where appropriate and record 'not specified' when no dollar figure was given (e.g., site fee for Bean School).","severity":"moderate"} ]

Process clarity: []

Context clarity: [ {"type":"context_clarity","description":"The transcript referenced a process '1491' for using reserve accounts without a full citation; article notes the statute reference was mentioned in the meeting but not elaborated in the packet.","severity":"minor"} ]

Question emphasis: []

omission: []

bias: []

duplicate: []

Attribution Lock: [ {"type":"attribution_lock","description":"All direct quotations and attributions in articles are drawn only from the speakers listed in each article's speakers[] array; where a statement in the transcript could not be tied to a named speaker the article uses unattributed phrasing or 'staff'/'superintendent' functional labels.","severity":"minor"} ]

Notes on fixes applied: standardized transcript names where multiple spellings occurred and annotated clarifying_details; marked approximate numbers; preserved the board's recorded unanimous outcomes while noting roll‑call names were not recorded in the transcript.
