The Syosset Advance has issued a correction to a May 1 story headlined “Former Jericho PTA Treasurer Arrested for Grand Larceny,” after saying the article contained a substantial error. The paper said the person in the story was affiliated with a PTA from Jericho Elementary in Centereach, not with the Jericho School District.
The correction matters because the school district named in the original report was wrong. Jericho Elementary in Centereach is part of the Middle Country Central School District, and the updated notice says the subject was tied to that PTA, not to Jericho School District. No additional details about the arrest were provided in the correction.
That leaves the core of the story narrowed to a single fix: the school district connection was misidentified, and the paper has now corrected the record. For readers, the key point is that the PTA treasurer referenced in the May 1 article was linked to Jericho Elementary in Centereach within Middle Country Central School District, not to the Jericho School District.
