Mix and match the candidates
A graphic in the Feb. 26 editions of The Advocate contained errors about two of the three finalists for school superintendent in East Baton Rouge Parish.
Bonita Coleman-Potter, of Jackson, Miss., did not work as a correctional officer in Elmore, Ala. Potter leads a Boy Scout troop for a Baptist church in Jackson, Miss.
John Covington, of Pueblo, Colo., worked as a correctional officer in Elmore, Ala.
He does not lead a Boy Scout troop for a Baptist church in Jackson, Miss.
Covington also spent six years – not eight years as stated in the graphic – as an educator in Montgomery County, Ala. – not in Montgomery County, Colo., as the graphic implied.
Coleman-Potter and Covington are vying for the Baton Rouge job as is John Dilworth, of Montgomery, Ala.
Three days of interviews are scheduled to begin today.
The Advocate regrets the errors.
