■ Correction: Because of incorrect information from the Associated Press, an item in Around the Region in Thursday’s Metro section mischaracterized the number of teacher absences in Milford, N.H. There were 400 more absences this school year than last. The Globe regrets the error.

The Globe welcomes information about errors that call for corrections. Information may be sent to comments@globe.com or left in a message at 617-929-8230.
