/C O R R E C T I O N -- Edison Schools/ In the news release, Michigan Edison Schools Post Strong Academic Gains on MEAP, issued earlier today by Edison Schools over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the release contained some erroneous information. The first paragraph, second sentence should read "... the average total gain in the percentage of students meeting and/or exceeding standards is 12 points," rather than "10 points." The second paragraph, last sentence should read "Overall, Edison's gains were six times greater than local and state gains," rather than "five times." The fifth paragraph, first sentence should read "Edison's Michigan partnership reporting MEAP scores include Detroit's YMCA Service Learning Academy," rather than "... Detroit's YMCA Service Learning Academy and Detroit Edison Public School Academy," as originally issued inadvertently.
