Audit and revision summary
Summary
Audit identified minor clarity and attribution issues (ambiguous seconder attribute; unspecified Montana statute; transcription artifacts). Article revised to normalize dates, note seconding ambiguity, and avoid identifying the student beyond the transcript label.
Audit findings and resolution summary:
- Misidentification/Attribution: The transcript records a second for the motion but the speaker label in the transcript does not allow resolution of who seconded. Severity: medium. Fix: The article records the mover as "Committee member" and lists the second as "not specified," noting the transcript's ambiguity.
- Chronology/Clarity: Transcript contains spacing artifacts in the school-year notation ("20 24, 20 25") and a transcription artifact ("bridal"). Severity: minor. Fix: Dates normalized to "2024–25" and transcription artifacts marked in provenance/notes.
- Legal specificity: The transcript references "Montana law" without a statute citation. Severity: minor. Fix: The article references "Montana law (open meetings/public comment requirements)" and notes the citation is not specified in the record.
- Privacy/process clarity: Because the board used a closed executive session for a personal matter, the article clearly states that detailed findings were withheld to protect privacy and avoids any identifying student information beyond the transcript label "student C." Severity: medium. Fix: Article emphasizes closed-session basis and limited public record.
Post-revision, the article was updated to reflect these fixes and re-audited for the listed categories; no unresolved high-severity issues remain.
