BLINKLIST

When San Diego Unified posted a draft of potential projects for a proposed facilities bond, a few eyebrows shot up. The list included replacing sewer systems and wiring at brand-new schools such as Lincoln High School.

San Diego Unified's answer to the alarm? Oops.

"The new schools are not getting work they don't need via the proposed bond. ... We made a mistake," facilities spokeswoman Cynthia Reed-Porter wrote to me in an e-mail. "It was a computer glitch that occurred when creating that document, and we didn't catch it." 

A revised list is now available to the public, replacing the older list we linked to last week. Trustees will review the bond projects Tuesday in a first step towards placing the issue on the November ballot.
