California Principal Says Note About Schools’ Status for Fall Was in Error A San Francisco middle-school principal said she made an error in composing a newsletter that included a quote from the city’s school superintendent advising parents that schools wouldn’t be fully reopened by the fall. “After going back through my notes, and following up with folks, I realized my error,” Aptos Middle School Principal Stacey Wyatt told The San Francisco Chronicle in an email. “I failed to separate my spring and fall updates and used Dr. [Vince] Matthews’s quote about spring semester [for the] fall.” School district officials told the Chronicle that Matthews “absolutely” didn’t say that. Matthews had previously said that schools wouldn’t reopen in the spring but hadn’t said the same about the fall.
