AP confuses quote - No change in Silberman status

This afternoon WKYT apparently picked up an erroneous quote from the Associated Press. I don't know if it made their noon news broadcast or not.

At 12:05 WKYT reported: "Superintendent Stu Silberman says he's not interested, but would strongly consider the post should it be offered."

Silberman told Kentucky School News and Commentary the quote IS NOT CORRECT.

Silberman believes his actual quote, and one from Roger Marcum may have become confused at some point in the reporting process.

Silberman told KSN&C, "I am going to stick to the commitment I made to the community...I do feel we are on the right track here but we still have a very long way to go."

The correction was made at WKYT at 3:08PM on a new link. Hopefully they will kill the old one.
