In several articles, you have mistakenly reported that the termination of Old School Square Center for the Arts (OSSCFTA) was due to financial difficulties. This information is incorrect and does not reflect the actual circumstances.
You previously covered this issue in 2021 and 2022, so you are aware of the factual details. Despite this, the mistake continues to appear in your reporting.
We would like to remind you of the notification issued by the City of Delray Beach regarding OSSCFTA. The narrative suggesting financial difficulties as the reason for termination is inaccurate.
No matter how hard certain parties try to change the history, you should not participate in spreading misinformation. If OSSCFTA had been terminated with cause, we would have been given sufficient time to address and remedy the situation, which was not the plan of those involved.
We respectfully ask that you publish a correction; listing all of the articles that you misreported the wrong information and inform the public with accurate and factual events.

Old School Square Center for the Arts
Editor’s note: The Delray Beach City Commission, desiring to end the Old School Square Center for the Arts contract, followed its attorney’s advice to do so “without cause.” However, the commissioners who took that action
made clear their concerns about financial unaccountability as motivating their decision.
