National

An article on Tuesday about preparations by South Cobb High School in Austell, Ga., to march in the inaugural parade referred incorrectly to the donation of a trailer to transport the band’s equipment. Horizon Signs & Graphics in Alpharetta, Ga., designed and installed signs on the trailer — not Atlanta Peach Movers, which provided the trailer. (Go to Article)

New York

An article on Monday about a proposed Hebrew charter school in Brooklyn included, in some editions, a fictitious anecdote about one of the school’s backers, the financier Michael H. Steinhardt, who has given millions to programs that raise Jewish identity among young people. Although a family representative for Mr. Steinhardt confirmed the anecdote, Mr. Steinhardt does not in fact offer his villa in Anguilla to honeymooning Jewish couples who meet on a travel program he supports.

Because of an editing error, Monday’s article also referred incorrectly in some copies to another dual-language city school, the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn. It is a public school run by the city, not an independent charter school.

An article in some editions on Tuesday about an investigation by the Justice Department into reports of a string of assaults against Latinos on Long Island referred imprecisely to the department’s goals. It is determining whether to file criminal civil rights charges; it is not “seeking to file” such charges. (Go to Article)

Business Day

An article on Wednesday about Citigroup’s plans to split itself up misstated the company’s closing stock price on Tuesday. It was up 5.4 percent, to $5.90 — not down 1.2 percent, to $5.84. (Go to Article)

The Advertising column last Thursday, about a new campaign for Tropicana orange juice, misstated the amount of sugar in a 20-ounce bottle of Pepsi-Cola, which was compared to the amount of sugar in a 14-ounce carton of Tropicana. There are 70 grams of sugar in 20 ounces of Pepsi-Cola, not 28 grams. (That is the amount in 8 ounces of the soda, which the bottle’s label defines as one serving.) (Go to Article)

Sunday Business

Tables from Morningstar Inc. on Sunday in the Mutual Fund Quarterly, Part 2 of the section, carried outdated net asset values. (Go to Special Section)

The Arts

An article on Monday about the Golden Globes awards ceremony, at which “Mad Men” was honored as best television drama, misidentified, in some editions, the party involved in a contract dispute with the show’s creator and executive producer, Matthew Weiner. It is Lionsgate, the studio that produces the show — not AMC, the cable channel that carries it. (Go to Article)

Weekend

An art review on Friday about the Outsider Art Fair, in Manhattan, misstated the year the artist Janet Sobel, whose work was on display, died. It was 1968, not 1990. (Go to Article)

Arts & Leisure

A dance entry on Jan. 4 in the Week Ahead report referred incorrectly to Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet’s winter season program, which ends on Sunday. Works by Bartok will not in fact be included. (Go to Article)

Obituaries

A headline on Tuesday with an obituary about the theater director Tom O’Horgan overstated his contribution to the musical “Hair.” He was the director of the Broadway production, not the creator of the show. (James Rado and Gerome Ragni wrote the book and lyrics, and Galt McDermott wrote the music.) (Go to Article)
